Show Me
Donna Deussen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we're heading for a fall
Are we still confused at all
Won't you tell me
Tonight
If we can move a little closer
If we can get a little deeper
You got to show me
Assure me
Nothing will go wrong
You got to show me
Why you're holding on
You've got to show me
Assure me
Nothing will go wrong
You've got to show me
Why you're holding on
Maybe
You think it's not enough
Can't you see I'm trying hard
To be open
Tonight
If we get a little closer
If we get a little deeper
We'll be complete
You got to show me
Assure me
Nothing will go wrong
You got to show me
Why you're holding on
You got to show me
You got to show me
You got to show me
You got to show
You got to show me
Assure me
Nothing will go wrong
You got to show me
Why you're holding on
