Lyrics Howard Jones – I Want You To Show Me

I want you to show me, want you to show me

I don’t know what it is about me,
I’m sitting wondrin’ who I should be,
Just a small man in the dark, or the man who made his mark,

I don’t know what it is about you,
You just don’t have the time to be blue,
You’re always on the up, and reachin’ for the top,
So strong behind the scenes, and runnin’ with your dreams,
With two feet on the earth

I keep lookin’ for the blue sky, waitin’ for a high five,
I don’t want to look down, and I’m scared to fall,
You’re tellin’ me to hang tough, even when it gets rough,
I wanna be like you

You’re sayin’ that it’s all up to me,
You see the person I’d like to be,
Has been there all the time,
Is hiding in my mind, and dying to be free

So tell me what it is I can do,
I want to give my heart and tell you,
The things I feel inside, the love I have denied,
The million tears I cried, my promises and lies,
I’ll offer up to you

I keep lookin’ for the blue sky, waitin’ for a high five
I don’t want to look down, and I’m scared to fall,
You keep tellin’ me to hang tough, even when it gets rough,
I’m feelin so pre-car-ri-ous,
I’m ready for the hard ride, gonna beat the dark side,
I wanna start right now, you gotta show me how,
To love my life

I want you to show me, want you to show me
