Lyrics The Pretenders

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
