Intro (soft, playful, breathy) Mmm… You got all the right words… But words don’t hold me. Come a little closer… Show me… (Whisper ad-lib) “Show me… mm…” ⸻ Verse 1 You keep tellin’ me you’re different, Like I ain’t heard that line before. Boy, confidence is pretty… But can you be a little more? Anybody can make promises, Anybody can sound sweet. I’m lookin’ for consistency, Not just chemistry. BGVs (A little more… more…) ⸻ Pre-Chorus If you’re really serious, Don’t leave it in the air. Love ain’t in the things you say… It’s in the way you’re there. Baby, let me see What your heart is made of… Not just what you tell me… Run: “Tell me-ee-ee…” ⸻ Chorus Say it with your hands… Hold me like you mean it. Say it with your time… Stay when it gets hard. If you’re gonna love me, Love me out loud. Don’t leave me guessing… Don’t leave me in the dark. ’Cause flowers fade… And pretty words disappear… But the kind of love I’m lookin’ for… You can feel it right here. BGVs (Right here… right here…) Riff: “Ooh… right heeere…” ⸻ Verse 2 You don’t gotta buy the moon, Or promise me forever. Just be the same tomorrow As you are tonight together. I notice little things… The way you listen… How you care. Anybody can show up once… Can you keep showin’ up from there? BGVs: (Keep showin’ up…) ⸻ Pre-Chorus Don’t rush this feeling… Let it breathe. Real love don’t compete… It just believes. If your heart is speakin’… Then don’t be afraid… Show me what forever Looks like today… Run “Todaaaay…” ⸻ Chorus Say it with your hands… Hold me like you mean it. Say it with your time… Stay when it gets hard. If you’re gonna love me, Love me out loud. Don’t leave me guessing… Don’t leave me in the dark. ’Cause flowers fade… And pretty words disappear… But the kind of love I’m lookin’ for… You can feel it right here. ⸻ Bridge (music strips back to Rhodes + bass) Don’t tell me… Show me. Don’t promise… Prove it. I don’t need perfection… Just somebody true. If your love is real… It’ll shine right through… Coloratura Run: “Throooough… ooh-woah-ah-ah…” BGVs “Show me… prove it…” ⸻ Final Chorus (key change) Say it with your hands… Hold me like you mean it. Say it with your heart… Don’t just play the part. If you’re gonna love me, Love me all the way. Make me never question What you couldn’t say. ‘Cause this ain’t just romance… This ain’t just sparks… It takes a steady heart To hold a woman like… Me… BELT “MEEEEEEEE…” BGVs (Say it… say it… say it…) ⸻ Outro BGVs (Say it with your hands…) Mmm… I heard what you said… Now… Let me feel it. Soft whistle-like run: “Ooh… ah-ah-ah… mm…”
