Show a Little Emotion

[Verse 1]

Top to tail with good advice

To get to know me, if I could only be

A little bit more like Jesus Christ

Is that so easy? You know the lady likes

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Passion, wisdom, wealth and wonder

Custom made at retail price

Well, it all sounds good to me

And it'll happen naturally if you

[Chorus]

Show a little love, show a little emotion

It ain't a sin to be cryin'

Show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe

Maybe show a little love for

[Verse 2]

Take one chance, you could be right

So what's your problem? You're only softenin'

The pressures of one more lonely night

But that's so easy, we know the lady likes

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Pleasures found in downtown places

Whisky straight and drugs for free

Where folks don't really care

But there's a sense of style you share if you

[Chorus]

Show a little love, show a little emotion

It ain't a sin to be cryin'

Show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe

You could show a little love for me

[Post-Chorus]

(You say you're mine, but you don't show it)

(You say I'm blind, and man I know it)

But I can show my feelings aloud

Without the fear of splittin' with the crowd

So baby, don't say you love me

[Bridge]

Because you're scared of givin' friendship 'case you never get it back

Mistakin' independence for the courage that you lack

You're terrified of missin' out on changes in the scene

So you cling on to your status like some life-support machine

'Cause weakness is too feminine, you're dressed up like a boy

'Til you get so fuckin' down, you forgot what girls enjoy

You'll realise the compromise was not what they said it would be

So why don't you show me?

Come on

[Chorus]

Show a little love, show a little emotion

It ain't a sin to be cryin'

Show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe

You could show a little love, show a little love for
