Show Me Love

About Show Me Love

"Show Me Love" is a song by American singer Robin S. It was written by Allen George, Richard Tomlinson (non credited) and Fred McFarlane and originally released in 1990 by Champion Records in the United Kingdom. In 1992, it was remixed by Swedish house music production duo StoneBridge and Nick Nice, New York City's Onionz and re-released in many European countries as well as United States and Japan. It became one of the most well known house anthems in the United Kingdom, and Robin's biggest hit to date. It helped to make house more mainstream and the song is often confused with her following single "Luv 4 Luv", which is compositionally similar and was released around the same time, and with the 1997 hit "Show Me Love" by Swedish singer Robyn, due to same song title and similar artist name. In the US, "Show Me Love" reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100, number seven on the R&B chart, and number one on the dance club chart. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and sold 600,000 copies domestically. Additionally, the song went to number six on the UK Singles Chart in April 1993. "Show Me Love" has since been sampled and interpolated in numerous recordings, including "Don't Wanna Go Home" by Jason Derulo (2011) and "Show Me" by Kid Ink. more »

Ahh
Yeah yeah yeah, hey
Yeah yeah
You've got to show me love

Heart breaks and promises
I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love
And gettin' nowhere (nowhere)

What I need is somebody
Who really cares
I really need a lover
A lover that wants to be there

Its 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 u want me
You've got to show me love
Words aren't so easy to say, oh I
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 your looking for devotion
Talk to me
Come with your heart in your hands
Because my love is guaranteed

So baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words aren't so easy to say, oh I
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 thing
You've got to understand

If you're looking for devotion
Talk to me
Come with your heart in your hands
Because my love is guaranteed
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, hey
