Show Me Around
Divine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it already seems such a bore
Not what you call a small town
But I've seen a hundred like it before.
So don't try to take advantage
I just want you to show me the sights
My temperature's up, my energy's high
chorus
Show me around, I'm looking for a lover
Show me around, I've seen it all before
Show me around, I'm searching for a brother
Going over the top and I sure as hell ain't going alone
I'm not staying forever
Just long enough to see a little more
I might be new to this place
But I ain't new to the score
So don't try to take advantage
Thought I ain't one for acting coy
I'm gonna dress up
I'm gonna show you tonight
That I ain't no country boy
(chorus)
So don't try to take advantage
I just want you to show me the sights
My temperature's up, my energy's high
Gonna cause an explosion tonight
Divine's song "Show Me Around" is about a new person in town who is looking for adventure and excitement. The lyrics describe the singer's feeling of boredom with the town they have just arrived in, as it seems unremarkable and not very different from places they have seen before. They ask for someone to "show me around" and take them on a tour of the town, with the hopes of finding a lover or brother to share their adventure with.
The singer is clear that they are not staying forever, but only "long enough to see a little more." They are experienced and not easily taken advantage of, warning their guide to not "try to take advantage." They are confident and ready for an explosive night of discovery and fun. The chorus repeats the phrase "Show me around," emphasizing the singer's eagerness and desperation for someone to lead them to excitement in this new place.
The song can be interpreted as both a desire for physical adventure and as a search for someone to connect with emotionally. It expresses a longing for excitement and a need for companionship.
