Words for Love
"Words for Love" (Hebrew: "Milim La'Ahava" Hebrew script: מילים לאהבה) was the Israeli entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, performed in Hebrew and English (with some lyrics in Greek, French and Spanish) by Lior Narkis.
The song is an up-tempo number, in which Narkis tells his lover that he can't find the right way to tell her about his feelings. Thus, he pledges to "study languages, beautiful words" in order to find the words in every language. He then proceeds to relate his feelings in five languages, ending with the Hebrew equivalent - which is prefaced by "or simply", implying that perhaps a really detailed attempt at finding the words was pointless to begin with.
The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following Spain's Beth with "Dime" and preceding the Netherlands' Esther Hart with "One More Night"). At the close of voting, it had received 17 points, placing 19th in a field of 26, thus requiring Israel to qualify from the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.

For Love
[Verse 1:]
You don't know how cold it is
Till a warm breeze blows
Can't hear the static in the song
Till you change the station, now
Sitting, waiting on the green
Been trying to change my scene
Let's hit the road let it be known...
Universally, oh lawd
[Chorus:]
M-O-V-I-N-G
I'm moving on so gracefully
I took R-E-S-P-E-C-T-ing
Myself first to truly see...
Moving on... Moving on... Moving on, wouuwwee
Thanks for the song, but I'm moving on
To bigger and better things
Oh lawd..
[Verse 2:]
You can say it's my fault
I can say its you
No more lies, don't apologize
We both know the truth
I'm crying, dying in the scene
Been trying.. just to breath
Let's hit the road, let new love grow
Universally oh lawd
[Repeat chorus]
I see what you're doing
I've been right here before
We're hurting, hating, racing, pacing
So it's you and me no more
Moving on... moving... yeah I'm moving up and
Moving on
Thank you for your time and song, but baby I'll be
moving
[Repeat chorus]
