For the love of Robyn




Show Me Love
By Robyn

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Always been told that I've got too much pride
Too independant to have you by my side
But my heart said all of you will see
Just won't live for someone until he'll live for me
Never thought I would find love so sweet
Never thought I would meet someone like you
Well now I've found you and I'll tell you no lie
This love I've got for you
Could take me 'round the world
Now show me love
Show me love, show me life
Baby show me what it's all about
You're the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
Don't waste this love I wanna give it to you
Tell me what you got, show me what you can do
Show me love, show me everything
I know you've got potential
So baby let me in and show me love
Show me love, show me life (alright)
Baby show me that it's all about
You're the only one that I ever needed (show me love)
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
Show me love, show me life
Baby show me what it's all about
You're the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
Show me love baby
Show me everything you've got and show me life
Show me love baby
Show me everything and what it's all about
You're the one, the only one I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
I'll love you
I'll miss you
I'll make sure
Everything will be alright
I'll give you my heart if you just give me love
Every day and every night
Show me love, show me life (alright)
Baby show me what it's all about
You're the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
Show me love, show me life (alright)
Baby show me what it's all about
You're the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright

Wikipedia: "Show Me Love" is the fourth Swedish, third UK and second U.S. single from Swedish pop singer Robyn's debut album Robyn is Here. The song is sometimes confused with Robin S's 1993 hit "Show Me Love", because of identical song titles and similar first names. The two songs are not related, however.

In her home country, "Show Me Love" became Robyn's fourth hit, peaking at number fourteen, lower than "Do You Know (What it Takes)" and "Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)", which both went top ten.

In the U.S., the single peaked at number seven, her second consecutive top ten hit there. Similar success occurred in Australia where the single peaked at number two. In the UK, "Show Me Love" became Robyn's first of two top twenty hits from Robyn is here and her first top ten hit, peaking at number eight. In December 1997 the single received a Gold certification from the RIAA in recognition of 500,000 copies sold in the U.S.[1]

The song features at the very end of the Swedish movie Show Me Love. The film was originally titled Fucking Åmål but following controversy over the use of a profanity it was retitled for distribution in the English-speaking world after the name of the song."
