Show Me
The Cover Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say that you really love me
I'm always on your mind
And you say I should be your lover
And we should spend some time
But I'm not persuaded that quickly
My heart has been broken before you see
So if you want to be my lover
You have to prove your love is true to me
Cause it's easy to tell me you love me
Easy to say your thinking of me
Words are so easy to say

Show me, Show me, you really love me
Actions speak louder than words
Show me, Show me, you really need me
Cause all those lies I've already heard
Show me, Show me, you really love me
Let me believe that it's true
Show me, Show me, you really need me
And I'll get together with you

You say that there is no other
I am the only one
And you say that if we were lovers
We would have so much fun
But my mother warned me
That I should beware of yound boys saying things that you say
So I must be sure that if I give you my love
You won't take it then run away
Cause it's easy to tell me you love me
Easy to say your thinking of me
Words are so easy to say

Show me, Show me, you really love me
Actions speak louder than words
Show me, Show me, you really need me
Cause all those lies I've already heard
Show me, Show me, you really love me
Let me believe that it's true
Show me, Show me, you really need me
And I'll get together with you

Show me, Show me, you really love me
Actions speak louder than words
Show me, Show me, you really need me
Cause all those lies I've already heard
Show me, Show me, you really love me
Let me believe that it's true




Show me, Show me, you really need me
And I'll get together with you
