Ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah ah-ah 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 and getting nowhere, nowhere
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 are so easy to say, oh ah yeah
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 me love is guaranteed

So baby, if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words are so easy to say, oh ah yeah
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 thang
You've got to understand

If you're looking for devotion, talk to me
Come with your heart in your hand
Because me love is guaranteed
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
