You Show Me Yours
Kris Kristofferson Lyrics

The lyrics to Kris Kristofferson's song, "You Show Me Yours", convey a sense of two individuals who are drawn to each other, despite their differences. The song opens with an invitation from the singer to the listener, "If you're feeling salty, then I'm your tequila." The singer suggests that they complement each other despite their contrasting personalities. The singer then offers a proposition for a more intimate encounter, "There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions. So you show me yours, hon, and I'll show you mine."

The second stanza offers some insight into the listener's world. They have rings on their fingers and time on their hands, suggesting that they may be in a committed relationship that they are not entirely satisfied with. The singer reassures them that it's normal to want to be close to someone and provides another invitation, "God knows I've been there before you, and I understand." The third and final stanza suggests that the singer wishes they could be the answer to all of the listener's questions and vice versa. However, the nature of the relationship they have is merely a change in direction, and they are lucky to have found each other.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of two individuals who have found something in each other that they may have been missing in their lives. The invitation to show each other their emotions and the sense of understanding that the singer provides highlight the importance of human connection and intimacy.
