Show Some Emotion
I may not be your best
But you know good ones
Don't come by the score
If you've got something missing
I'll help you look
You can be sure


And if you want to be alone
Or someone to share a laugh
Whatever you want to do
All you got to do is ask


Thunder
Don't go under the sheets
Lightning
Under a tree
In the rain and snow
I'll be your fireside
Come running to me
When things get out of hand
Running to me
When it's more than you can stand


I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a shelter
In a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out


A fight with your best girl
Prettiest thing you ever saw
You know I'll listen
Try to get a message to her


And if it's money you want
Or trouble halved
Whatever you want me to do
All you got to do is ask


I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a shelter
In a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out
