Píseň: Show Some Emotion

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Show Some Emotion
Show some emotion
 Put expression in your eyes
 Light up
 If you're feeling happy
 But if it's bad
 Then let those tears roll down


 Some people hurting
 Someone choking up inside
 Some poor souls dying
 Too proud to say
 They got no place to lie
 And there's people
 If they hear a joke
 Can't keep the laugh
 Out of their eye


 I said
 Show some emotion
 Put expression in your eyes
 Light up
 If you're feeling happy
 But if it's bad
 Then let those tears roll down


 Some people in love
 But all they got's a photography
 How can they get it
 Too scared
 To open their mouth
 To ask


 I said
 Show some emotion
 Put expression in your eyes
 Light up
 If you're feeling happy
 But if it's bad
 Then let those tears roll down


 Come on try
 Learn to bleed
 When you get a bad fall
 Light up
 Light up
 Light up
 If it's nice
 But if it's bad
 Then let those tears roll down
