The Pretenders
"Show Me"


Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
'cause i've heard so much about it
They say you can't live without it


Welcome to the human race
With its wars, disease and brutality
You with your innocence and grace
Restore some pride and dignity
To a world in decline


Welcome to a special place
In a heart of stone that's cold and grey
You with your angel face
Keep the despair at bay
Send it away, and


Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
'cause i've heard so much about it
I don't want to live without it
I don't want to live without it
Oh, i want love, i want love, i want love


Welcome here from outer space
The milky way still in your eyes
You found yourself a hopeless case
One seeking perfection on earth
That's some kind of rebirth, so


Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
'cause i've heard so much about it
Don't make me live without it
Don't make me live without it
Oh, love, i want love, i want love, i want love
