Show Me
Suzanne Palmer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still can't let 'em know, yeah, but I always start to cry
Love that was sad, it's true, it worked for you and I
The day I med you, thank the Lord, you came into my life
You got to show me that you love me
Show me that you still love me
Throughout the years, all through the tears
Show me that you love me, too
I knew your rep, had affairs, you had lots of fun
Then I became your woman and your first stormy one
You stopped runnin' with the girls, but then you had no need
Hour after hour it was always you and me
Things got down, I went away, a mistake I now confess
A letter, a call, a visit, too, anything to keep closeness
Too far gone, gone too long, our love went unexpressed
Oh, so alone, I'm plain not knowin' with me you found happiness
Got to show me that you love me
Show me that you love me, too
I can't allow myself the truth, this love I feel for you
I love you more than life itself and this song is for you
You got to show me that you love me
You got to show me that you still love me
You got to show me that you love me
You got to show me that you still love me
Eternally, yes I see, you will have my heart
I wanna know, I got to know, with you do I have a part
So show me that you love me
Show me that you still love me
Show me that you love me
Show me that you love me, too
Throughout the years, all through the tears
Oh, I still love you
So show me that you love me, too
Show me that you love me
Show me that you still love me
Throughout the years, all through the tears
Oh, I still love you
So show me that you love me, too
The song "Show Me" by Suzanne Palmer is a powerful expression of love, desire, and vulnerability. Palmer's lyrics reveal the emotional pain that comes from being separated from a loved one and the need for reassurance that their love still exists. The song opens with an early morning realization that the person she loves is not by her side, and she starts to cry. The lyrics suggest that they have been through their share of struggles in the past, but their love was strong enough to overcome them.
Palmer then reflects on the ups and downs of their relationship, acknowledging that she knew about his past affairs, but she still became his woman, and they became each other's priority. Their love grew stronger, and they became inseparable until a moment of weakness led to her leaving. She pleaded for him to show her that his love for her was still there, but he didn't, and their relationship suffered. Despite everything, Palmer acknowledges that she still loves him more than life itself and that she needs him to show her that their love still exists.
The song ends with a plea for her love to be reciprocated and a desire to know if she still has a part in his life. The lyrics suggest that the love they share is eternal, and despite the challenges they faced, they can still find their way back to each other.
