You've got to show me love
Heart breaks and promises
I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love
And gettin' nowhere (nowhere)
Who really cares
I really need a lover
A lover that wants to be there
Its been so long since I've touched a wanting hand
I cant put my love on the line
This I hope you'll understand
So baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words aren't so easy to say oh I
You've got to show me love
I'm tired of getting caught up
In those one night affairs
What I really need is somebody
Who will always be there
Don't you promise me the world
All that I've already heard
This time around for me baby
Actions speak louder than words
If your looking for devotion

Come with your heart in your hands
Because my love is guaranteed
So baby if you want me

Words aren't so easy to say oh I
It's difficult for me to express my feelings verbally
I'm tired of getting caught up
I'm fed up with getting involved in short-lived, meaningless affairs
In those one night affairs
Casual hookups or flings that have no potential to progress into anything substantial
Don't you promise me the world
I don't want grandiose statements or unrealistic expectations
All that I've already heard
I've been let down before and don't want to get my hopes up
This time around for me baby
This is what I'm seeking now
Actions speak louder than words
I want someone who demonstrates their love through their deeds, not just their words
If your looking for devotion

Come with your heart in your hands
Express your heartfelt emotions and intentions honestly
Because my love is guaranteed
I will reciprocate with love and devotion if you do the same
Show me show me baby
Demonstrate your affection for me
You've got to give it to me give it to me give it to me yeah
You have to put forth effort and show genuine care for me
I don't want no fakes don't want no phoney

I crave your affection
Give it to me give it to me
Show me your love and commitment
I am not a toy I'm not a play thing
I am not an object to be used for temporary pleasure
You've got to understand
I hope you comprehend my desires and needs for a genuine, committed relationship
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
