Let Me Show Ya
Jazzanova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're fallin' in love, let me show ya
At least a thousand reasons why
You should take your time
Before you fall again

If you're still in love, now's a good time
To wish upon the stormy sky
And take your time
Trust and you will win

So you got that lookin'
Like you lost your best friend
Said he didn't get to know you
Didn't 'ven get to see you
For all the beauty in you
You chose to set aside
You chose to compromise
Every time you saw the
Dangerous signs come crashing in

Ooh, we're so proud of ourselves
We're only human
There is lessons we all could learn

If you're fallin' in love, let me show ya
At least a thousand reasons why
You should take your time
Before you fall again

If you're still in love, now's a good time
To wish upon the stormy sky
And take your time
Trust and you will win

Oh, it's so hard to be alone
It feels so good to have a kindred soul
But it's better when it's on equal ground
That's the kind of love that stays around

So he charms you, wines and dines
Picks you up right on time
But he never seems to wonder
Never shows and interest
In anything about you

You chose to set aside (yeah)
Chose to compromise
Every time you saw the
Dangerous signs come crashing in

Ooh, we're so hard on ourselves
We're only human
There are lessons we all could learn

If you're fallin' in love, let me show ya
At least a thousand reasons why
You should take your time
Before you fall again

If you're still in love, now's a good time
To wish upon the stormy sky
And take your time
Trust and you will win

Oh, it's so hard to be alone
It feels so good to have a kindred soul
But it's better when it's on equal ground
That's the kind of love that stays around

Listen, girl
Dry your eyes don't fret
You know better than that
'Til you learn how special you are
You'll put up with smack like that

Dry your eyes don't fret
You know better than that
'Til you learn how special you are
You'll put up with smack like that

Dry your eyes don't fret
You're special
I'm just schoolin' you

Dry your eyes don't fret
You know better than that
'Til you learn how special you are
You'll put up with smack like that

Dry your eyes don't fret
You're special
I'm just schoolin' you
You're special

Oh, it's so hard to be alone
It feels so good to have that kindred soul

Oh, it's so hard
It's so hard, yeah

It feels good
It feels so good
It feels so good





To have that
To have that kindred soul

My favorite song from Jazzanova!

TheBubba74

How can you not smile after hearing this song? Not only is the song musically smart (check out the chord progressions, orchestration, arrangements) but the lyrics are damn playful. This is one of the best songs of 2008 PERIOD. That and that drum groove is SICK!!!

sedantez24

They were one of my highlights of the picnic. A full 12 piece band playing funk jazz - you can't beat it! The front man, Paul Randolph, was incredible - got the crowd going

Stas Smirnov

That mixing! That freaking mixing! Three orchestras playing at the same time, different catchy tunes... and it sounds like nothing is important. Amazing!

Alice B

I'm really surprised how songs like that have that little views :) I listen to it every single day and find something new in it's words...beautiful.

Jordan

Who'd have thought a bunch of German producers could not only produce a vintage soul album, but a great vintage soul album.

It is impossible that someone does not fall in love with this song from the first note.This kind of music makes my soul free.
