Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got to show me love
Heart breaks and promises
I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love
And gettin' nowhere (nowhere)
Who really cares
I really need a lover
A lover that wants to be there
Its been so long since I've touched a wanting hand
I cant put my love on the line
This I hope you'll understand
So baby if u want me
You've got to show me love
Words aren't so easy to say oh I
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 your looking for devotion
Talk to me
Come with your heart in your hands
Because my love is guaranteed
So baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words aren't so easy to say oh I
You've got to show me love
Show me show me baby
You've got to give it to me give it to me give it to me yeah
I don't want no fakes don't want no foney

I am not a toy I'm not a play thing
You've got to understand
If you're looking for devotion
Talk to me
Come with your heart in your hands
Because my love is guaranteed
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
The lyrics to Steve Angello and Laidback Luke's "Show Me Love" speak to the desire for true love and the need for actions to back up words. The song seems to come from a place of frustration and heartbreak as the singer sings about the many broken promises they have endured in relationships. They are tired of giving love and not receiving it in return, and they are looking for someone who will truly care for them.
The singer makes it clear that they want more than just a one-night stand. They want someone who will always be there for them and is willing to give their heart completely. For the singer, actions really do speak louder than words. They don't want to hear empty promises; they want to see real, tangible proof of their partner's love and devotion.
The repetition of the phrase "you've got to show me love" throughout the song drives home the message that actions are what matter most in a relationship. Without true love and dedication, words alone are not enough to sustain a relationship. The singer is laying down the gauntlet and demanding that their partner prove their love through their actions.
