Show A Little Emotion

Lyrics
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
Well it all sounds good to me,
And it'll happen naturally if you
Show a little love, show a little emotion,
It ain't a sin to be crying
Show a little pain, show a little emotion, baby
Maybe show a little love for
Take one chance you could be right
So what's your problem?
You're only softening
The pressures of one more lonely night
But that's so easy, we know the lady likes
Pleasures found in downtown places,
Whiskey straight and drugs for free
Where folks don't really care,
But there's a sense of style you share if you
Show a little love, show a little emotion,
It ain't a sin to be crying
Show a little pain, show a little emotion, baby
'n you could show a little love for me
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
You're terrified of missing out
On changes in the scene
So you cling on to your status
Like some life-support machine
'cos weakness is too feminine,
You're dressed up like a boy
'til you get so fucking 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
Show a little love, show a little emotion,
It ain't a sin to be crying
Show a little pain, show a little emotion, baby
You could show a little love,
Show a little love for
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
Well it all sounds good to me,
And it'll happen naturally if you
Show a little love, show a little emotion,
It ain't a sin to be crying
Show a little pain, show a little emotion, baby
Maybe show a little love for
Take one chance you could be right
So what's your problem?
You're only softening
The pressures of one more lonely night
But that's so easy, we know the lady likes
Pleasures found in downtown places,

Where folks don't really care,
But there's a sense of style you share if you
Show a little love, show a little emotion,
It ain't a sin to be crying
Show a little pain, show a little emotion, baby
'n you could show a little love for me
You say you're mine, but you don't show it
You say I'm blind, and man I know it

Show a little pain, show a little emotion, baby
You could show a little love,
Show a little love for
