Show A Little Emotion Lyrics - Wildhearts

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 

passion wisdom wealth and wonder, custom made at retail price 

it all sounds good to me, and it'll happen naturally 

CHORUS: 

if ya... 

show a little love, show a little emotion, it ain't a sin to be crying 

show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe 

(maybe)/('n you can) show a little love for (me) 

take one chance you could be right 

so what's your problem? you're only softening at the 

pressures of one more lonely night 

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

pleasures found in downtown places, whisky straight and drugs for free 

where the folks don't really care, but there's a sense of style you share 

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 splitting with the crowd 

so baby, don't say you love me 

because you're scared of giving friendship 'case you never get it back 

mistaking independence for the courage that you lack 

and you're terrified of missing out on changes in your scene 

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

because weakness is too feminine, you dress up like a boy 

'til you get so fucking down, you forget what girls enjoy 

you'll realise a compromise was not what they said it would be 

so why don't you show me... 

come on 

show a little love, show a little emotion, it ain't a sin to be crying 

show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe 

you can show a little love, show a little love for...
