The story behind the song

"Words of Love" explores the idea that mere declarations of affection aren't enough to capture a heart. Led by Cass Elliot's vocals, the song advises that actions speak louder than words in winning a girl's love. It suggests that true admiration is shown by taking her to new and exciting places. This track, from their second studio album, showcases The Mamas & the Papas' folk rock sound, known for its vocal harmonies.
