One Direction: Better Than Words Meaning
Better Than Words Lyrics
Better than words
But more than a feeling
Crazy in love
Dancing on the ceiling
Everytime we touch
I'm all shook up
You make me wanna *sigh*
How deep is your love?
God only knows, baby
[Chorus]
I don't know how else to sum...

#1 top rated interpretation:It's been said in an interview, this song has been written by Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. It's about someone that doesn't know how to express his feelings. That's why this song is only composed of titles of songs (Best I ever had - Beyonce, Hips Don't Lie - Shakira...), songs that are "better than words" (or than its own words) to express what he feels. It's genius.

#2 top rated interpretation:I just think that words can't describe how much he loves her.

#3 top rated interpretation:I think this song is about what love feels like and how words can not describe it and will never prepare you for how wonderful the feeling is.

In my own interpretation,the song is about how the girl love the boy.She really loves the boy that she's willing to lose her virginity to him.Her love is really better than words.
-
I think it is about love and you can’t explain her love so I think it is a amazing song and that it is not what the comments have been saying it’s about I just think it’s about love
-
This songs about sex, I don't know how else to put it. Like genuinely if you are a fan you've known this unless your a young fan. But yeah it's about sex.
-
Love.

I don't think there's a clear cut meaning of this song, people are taking it way too literally. Every lyric of this song is literally the title or main part of a chorus from another well-known song. I'm the very first line, better than words(1D), more than a feeling(BOSTON),crazy in love(Beyonce&jayz), dancing on the ceiling (Lionel Richie), every time we touch(..the honestys too much),I'm all shook up (ELVIS),U make me wanna(USHER),How deep is your love(BEE GEES),God only knows(BEACH BOYS), Baby, Baby(JUSTIN BIEBER)... I could go on, but I won't, I think I've made my point. If they are saying anything at all with the song which I still seriously doubt it is that their love is so great for whoever or whatever they can't find the words so they're going to use the words from the most classic love songs they can find. I actually think it's the most genius lyrics and song in their entire catalog. Absolutely brilliant.

This song is basically saying, that the love they have for all their fans is 'Better than words" they don't know how to thank them enough. That's basically how the chorous is defined. But indeed the verses are about sex. End of story.

Liam was getting it in.

Well by the comments i read alot of it was that its about sex, i didnt think they would do a song about that but in one of there concerts harry was singing and he touched his private part during the "you make me wanna tsss" part soo yeah its about sex :)
-
the song is talking about, how the girl makes him feel and he doesn't know how to show how much she means to him, the way she moves, making him happy and he's crazy in love, the girl makes him a better person, loving him for who he is. but in return he tries his best to show her his love.

Sex. It says, "best I ever had, HIPS DONT LIE" you use your HIPS when you have sex, right? And he's talking about the "best he ever had" like the best sex he ever had. Sorry, but there is NO WAY those lyrics aren't talking about sex.
-
It's like the boy who makes the mixtape or cd for the girl that he is crazy about. He doesn't know how to put his own feelings in to words, so he uses his favorite songs or at least, songs that show how he feels. In the first and second verse, every line is a song title. For example, I'm All Shook Up - Elvis Presley, Always Be My Baby - Mariah Carey.
