Show Me Your Colours
S Club 7 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You cast your spell over me
Don't know where to turn to anymore
I see your face
Every morning when I wake up
Every night when I go to bed
You're here with me
Somehow, don't know how
I can feel you right now
So close, so real

Show me
Show me your colours
Show me
Don't break this spell I'm in
Please don't break my heart
Show me
Show me your colours, baby
Tell me who you really are

I know you want what I want
Far away, but still within our reach
Do you dare?
Are you brave enough to show me
What your heart really wants to
I say your name to myself out loud
Wanna have you all around
Like a cover for the cold on the outside
Making love in the candlelight

Show me
Show me your colours
Show me
Don't break this spell I'm in
Please don't break my heart
Show me
Show me your colours, baby
Tell me who you really are

Baby
Don't tell me I mean nothing
After all you did
Baby, don't you tell me
Tell me I mean nothing
Tell me I mean nothing to you
Please show me now

Show me
Show me your colours
Show me
Don't break this spell I'm in
Please don't break my heart
Show me
Show me your colours, baby
Tell me who you really are

Show me
Show me your colours
Show me
Don't break this spell I'm in
Please don't break my heart
Show me
Show me your colours, baby
Tell me who you really are

I'm not allowed to adore you
The way you know I really want
But I do
Even though it's been a nightmare
To pretend that it's all, alright
It's not the easiest thing to avoid
Damage is already done




I'm in love
With you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Show Me Your Colours" by S Club 7 are about wanting to know the real person behind the facade, to see someone's true colors. The singer is under a spell, and can't resist the person they are singing about, seeing their face every morning and night. They want to know who they really are, daring them to show their true selves. The singer knows they want the same thing and feels a deep love for this person. However, they also feel conflicted, because they are not allowed to love them as much as they want to.


The song captures the feeling of being mesmerized by someone and wanting to see beneath the surface. The repeated lines of "show me your colours" and "tell me who you really are" emphasize the desire to know the true character of the person in question.


Interestingly, the group S Club 7 was formed by Simon Fuller, the man behind the Spice Girls. The group starred in their own television show, Miami 7, and had a string of hit singles in the late 1990s and early 2000s. "Show Me Your Colours" was a fan favorite but was only released as a bonus track on some editions of their second album, "7".
