Show Some Emotion - Joan Armatrading

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 and 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

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, come on try, come on try

Light up, light up, light up if it’s nice

But if it’s bad then let those tears roll down

And it’s bad then let those tears roll down
