You tell me you love me.
You swear that it’s true.
You say you’re willing to do anything.
Sometimes words can be hard to chew.

Look around.
What do you see?
Endless divorces,
Everywhere the eye can see.

Chorus:
Show me you love me.
Show me you care.
Show me don’t tell me.
Words aren’t enough anymore.
Liars and players beware.

So many people fall in love
Get married, have kids.
Swear they were brought 
Together by a power from above.

Live and love.
Give all their heart.
Make so many promises
And then they depart.

Chorus:
Show me you love me.
Show me you care.
Show me don’t tell me.
Words aren’t enough anymore.
Liars and players beware.

“What’s the matter,” you wonder.
“Why can’t these last?”
“What happened to the forevers?”
“Why can’t they reawaken the past?”

True love always happens 
To be too good to be true.
Talk is popular, actions are neglected.
Soulmates are far too few.

Chorus:
Show me you love me.
Show me you care.
Show me don’t tell me.
Words aren’t enough anymore.
Liars and players beware.

Vows are just 
Words on a page,
If they can’t last
For all of this age.

I love yous are empty,
If you can’t see them through.
They don’t mean a thing,
If I can’t see them in you.

Chorus:
Show me you love me.
Show me you care.
Show me don’t tell me.
Words aren’t enough anymore.
Liars and players beware.

A ring isn’t a reliable symbol,
If it’s nothing on your hand.
If it doesn’t set you apart,
You’re just water and sand.

I’m intelligent.
Really quite logical you see.
I won’t be fooled by pretty words.
Actions are all that can convince me.

Chorus:
Show me you love me.
Show me you care.
Show me don’t tell me.
Words aren’t enough anymore.
Liars and players beware.  ©
