Show Me Love
The Robins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
Yeah, yeah
You've got to show me love
Heartbreaks and promises
I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love
What I need is somebody
Who really cares
I really need a lover
A lover that wants to be there
It's been so long since I've touched a wanting hand
I can't put my love on the line
That I hope you'll understand
So, baby, if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words aren't so easy to say, alright
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 you're 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, alright
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 phony
I need your love
Show me, show me, show me, baby
Give it to me, give it to me
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, hey
The Robins's song "Show Me Love" expresses the frustration of the singer after having bad relationships and being tired of empty promises. The opening lines "Heartbreaks and promises, I've had more than my share, I'm tired of giving my love and gettin' nowhere, nowhere" indicate the disappointment that the singer feels in past relationships where they were not reciprocated. The singer is yearning for someone who truly cares about them and is willing to be there for them.
The lyrics stress the importance of actions rather than words, as the singer says "Don't you promise me the world, All that I've already heard, This time around for me, baby, Actions speak louder than words." The singer is tired of empty promises and wants to see actual effort from their partner. They want someone who is willing to show their love through actions and not just words.
The chorus "So, baby, if you want me, You've got to show me love, Words aren't so easy to say, alright, You've got to show me love" is the central theme of the song. The singer is asking their partner to prove their love through their actions rather than just proclaiming their feelings.
Overall, "Show Me Love" is a song about the search for true love - someone who will always be there and is willing to prove it. It is a plea to move beyond empty promises and truly show love through actions.
