Show Me
Sena Kana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What it's like to be loved?
Don't you wanna show me
What it's like to be loved?
Don't wanna take your words for granted
But I need more to hold on to
My nerves are numb from all the damage
Wanna take you serious, give me a reason
It's wintertime, don't mess around, don't miss your season
Start you off at zero, gotta work your way up
I wanna believe in you
Don't you wanna show me
What it's like to be loved?
Don't you wanna show me
What it's like to be loved?
My heart's been broke before
Shattered on the floor
Oh-oh-oh, would you put it back together?
Don't you wanna to show me
What it's like to be loved?
To be loved
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
To be loved
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dolla Sign
Don't you wanna hold me?
Late nights in the bed when you feel lonely
Don't you wanna talk to me?
You ain't even my mine yet, but you know you ought to be
Cash out lottery
They say money everything but it's not to me
First she was dodging me
Heard about my past and all the debauchery (uh yeah)
Now we go on trips like an odyssey
In my city I boost the economy
Shawty get on the knees, and she honor me (sure)
I'm eating the shit, I got strawberry
She cute, and she smart, she got quality
I'm young, and I'm major, I'm a prodigy
Whatever you do, just don't lie to me
I got the real one, she's standing on side of me
Wanna take you serious, give me a reason
It's wintertime, don't mess around, don't miss your season
Start you off at zero, gotta work your way up
I wanna believe in you
Don't you wanna show me
What it's like to be loved?
Don't you wanna show me
What it's like to be loved?
My heart's been broke before
Shattered on the floor
Oh-oh-oh, would you put it back together?
Don't you wanna show me
What it's like to be loved?
To be loved, just show me how to
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (tell me how)
To be loved (tell me about it)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (show me how to love)

The verses describe the singer's reluctance to fully trust someone's words unless they have actions to back them up. The singer recognizes that their past experiences have affected them, but they yearn to be shown a love that can heal and put their heart back together.
The song features an interlude by rapper Dolla Sign and a bridge where Sena Kana sings "To be loved, just show me how to." These lyrics encapsulate the essence of the song, which is a plea for someone to prove their love through actions rather than just words.
