Show It Off
Beres Hammond Lyrics

I'm so glad baby, so glad dahdah,
I am happy to have you, and I am grateful that I noticed you

Oh I pay you some mind.
I have been paying attention to you

Glad, I didn't turn you down,
I am glad that I did not reject you like the others did

I watched you all these years,
I have observed you throughout the years

Holding your head up high,
You demonstrated confidence, despite the negative remarks from others

Just wanting to be someone.
You aspired to be someone significant in life

And all the fellows around,
All the men who were around you

They didn't pay you no mind,
The men surrounding you did not give you any attention

Why did they not look twice,
I am confused as to why they did not notice you

They must have been blind.
I think they were not perceptive

But I could tell from the start,
However, I spotted from the beginning

You had love in your heart,
That you had a kind heart with much love to give

And you want it so much,
You desired to find someone to reciprocate your love

To let it go.
You needed to express that love

You needed the chance,
You wanted an opportunity

To show a little romance,
To exhibit some affection

Now the table has turned,
Things have changed around you

They're running you down, baby.
People are now criticizing you, my dear.

Ooh, it makes me feel so good.
I'm delighted with the current situation.

I remember standing on the corner,
I recollect standing on the street corner

With the brothers hanging out,
The brothers were hanging out

And they'd stare at every woman,
They would stare down every lady

But never at you.
But never at you.

But I've always admired,
I, on the other hand, always held you in high regard

And had a silent crush on you,
I had a hidden affection for you

But how could I tell the brothers,
But I could not express it to the brothers

They'd laugh and say it's not true.
The brothers would ridicule me, saying it was not true.

And they called you names,
The brothers even called you derogatory names

I'm ashamed to repeat,
The words they used were objectionable

And even say you're walking in your sleep, nahnah.
They went as far as to say nonsensical things about you.

Then you disappeared,
You vanished

And came back last year,
And returned last year

Now the same guys are saying,
Now the same brothers are saying

Ooh, what a heat, baby.
How attractive you have become.

Show it off,
Show off your new and improved appearance

show them what you've got now honey
Revealing your new appearance to others

Throw it off,
Show you are better than they once thought you were

Burn them cause your hot no baby.
Embarrass them with your new charm and beauty.

Let it off,
Unleash that charm and confidence

Let them feel the heat now honey,
Make them feel your power and attractiveness.

You got them at your feet now baby.
You now have them all under your spell.

And make me feel so good,
Your new strength and power make me feel happy too.

Whoo now now now.

Didn't think you could do it,
I did not think you were capable of this

How could you look so well,
I cannot believe how good you look

The expressions on their faces,
The looks on their faces!

Are here too, you can tell.
They don't hide their disbelief well enough.

Now they're acting so friendly,
Now they are trying to befriend you

Everyone wants to be near,
Everyone wants to be around you

It's either they don't remember,
It's either they don't remember how they treated you

Or they just don't care.
Or they just don't care about what they said before

Show it off,
Display your new-found success once again.

Show them what you've got now honey,
Show them what you are capable of now.

Throw it off,
Brag and boast about your success

Burn them cause your hot no baby,
Shame them because of your newfound sexiness.

Let it off,
Unleash your confidence again

Let them feel the heat now honey,
Make them feel inferior in comparison.

Show it off ...
Show off your renewed confidence once again.
