Show Me
Manne-Shelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got to show me love
Heartbreaks and promises
I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love
And getting nowhere, nowhere
What I need is somebody
Who really cares
A lover that wants to be there
It's been so long since I
Touched a wanting hand
I can't put my love on the line
That I hope you'll understand
So, baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words are so easy to say, alright?
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 you're looking for devotion, talk to me
Come with your heart in your hand
Because my love is guaranteed
So, baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words are so easy to say, alright?
You've got to show me love
Show me, show me baby
Heartbreaks and promises
I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love
And getting nowhere, nowhere
What I really need is somebody
Who will always be there
This time around for me baby
Actions speak louder than words
If you're looking for devotion, talk to me
Come with your heart in your hand
Because my love is guaranteed
So, baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words are so easy to say, alright?
You've got to show me love
There's nothing that you can tell me
You've got to show me love
There's only one key to my heart
You've got to show me love
