Ha
I gotta tell ya
I'll make it better
But I know there's somethin' I needed to say
Maybe you were better alone
I know I'll make it home
She told me sweet thang
Run a labour
In your shoes
Touch me til I follow in love
I wanna help her
Maybe we were better alone
I wanna show you how
And then we walked out
Make it made now
I said I want it but I never alone
I wanna show you
Maybe we were somethin' uncool
I wanna make you sing
Uh uh oh
Uh uh oh
Uh uh oh
The lyrics to "Show You How" by The Killers are interesting in their use of fragmented sentences and repetition to convey a sense of uncertain desire. The song seems to be a message left on an answering machine, with the opening lines indicating that the singer has one saved message to listen to. From there, the lyrics become a jumble of thoughts and feelings, as the singer struggles to express his love and desire for the person he is addressing.
The repeated phrase "Maybe we were better alone" suggests a fear of commitment or doubt in the relationship, while the lines "She told me sweet thang / Run a labour / In your shoes" hint at a sexual tension or power dynamic between the two people. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "I wanna show you how," seems to be a plea for the singer to prove his love and devotion in some tangible way.
Overall, the lyrics to "Show You How" are impressionistic and fragmented, hinting at the complexities of the singer's emotions without spelling them out in a straightforward way. The song leaves a sense of ambiguity and mystery, inviting the listener to imagine the details of the relationship and the future that awaits the two people.
