Show Me Your Love
Rembrandts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think I'm comin' back this way for more
It won't be long-and I'll be gone, out your door
You can say, the words you will
I'd be six feet under ground if looks could kill
But you don't care, that I've been run, through the mill
[Chorus:]
Maybe you'll never learn, how to show me your love
You can promise the world, but when push comes to shove
Baby you'll never learn, how to show me your love
Show me your love...love
When you're alone, what do you need?
Are your toys enough to keep you company?
Who says pain loves misery?
[Chorus:]
Show me your love...love
Love...love
The lyrics of the song 'Show Me Your Love' by Rembrandts carry a poignant message about the singer's relationship, which has taken a toll on him. He is tired of being treated poorly and hopes to move on from the situation. The verses convey how he has been down this road before, implying that he has repeatedly experienced this kind of relationship, and he no longer wants to suffer through it. In the second verse, he questions the significance of his presence in the relationship, wondering if his partner feels content with just her toys to keep her company.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful as it conveys the singer's reluctance to wait around for love that may never come his way. He acknowledges that he has had enough of empty promises, and demands that his partner learns how to show him love. The singer isn't convinced that his partner understands how to demonstrate love genuinely, and suspects that she may never know-how, eventually leading to his departure.
