Show Me
Willie And The Red Rubber Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're feeling salty, then I'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom I've got the time
There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours, hon, and I'll show you mine

No ma'm I know this ain't all that you've ever been used to
You with your rings on your fingers and time on your hands
Sometimes it's nice to have somebody nice to be close to
God knows I've been there before you and I understand

I wish that I was the answer to all of your questions
God knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling if you ain't a thing but a change in direction
Lord don't you know you'd be somethin' I'm lucky to find

I wish that I was the answer to all of your questions
God knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling if you ain't a thing but a change in direction
Lord don't you know you'd be somethin' I'm lucky to find





So you show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Overall Meaning

The Willie And The Red Rubber Band's song "Show Me" is a sweet and simple love song that focuses on the idea of two people getting to know each other intimately. The first two lines of the chorus sets the tone - "If you're feeling salty, then I'm your tequila. If you've got the freedom I've got the time". It speaks of two people who are open to exploring each other and finding out more about themselves in the process. The song is about being vulnerable and being accepted for who you are. The singer is reassuring his partner that they can trust him with their emotions and that there is nothing sweeter than being completely naked emotionally.


The second verse is about the singer's partner and her previous experiences with other men. It speaks of how she may be used to having a certain lifestyle with men who have more money or status. The singer then goes on to say that sometimes it's nice to simply have someone who is nice to be close to. He understands that she may feel vulnerable and that he wishes he could be the answer to all her questions. However, he knows that if she is simply a change in direction for him, then she would be someone he is lucky to find.
