Arkells – Show Me Don't Tell Me lyrics
[Verse 1]
We had to know
If this was the real thing
I had to know
If you could change with me
You're up in Berlin at 8 am
I'm in Montréal still going strong
Walking back to the hostel
Did I cross your mind still?
If I don't got you
I don't want nothing
[Chorus]
It's true, yeah, I know just the place
My love is just one hop-skip away
You said, "Show me, don't tell me"
And, "I miss you completely"
This time I ain't bluffing
You're always my number one
[Verse 2]
You're out on your own
And every door opens
You're out on your own
Got the whole city showing
This intermission
Showed me what's missing
Yeah, this chandelier
It keeps on swinging
You called from the airport
Leaving from Hamburg
You said, "If I don't got you
I don't want nothing."
[Chorus]
It's true, yeah, I know just the place
My love is just one hop-skip away
You said, "Show me, don't tell me
'cause I miss you completely"
This time I ain't bluffing
You're always my number one
[Bridge]
We set a precedent
Now I'm living with it
Who made up all these conditions?
I'll be waiting with a sign when you've landed
[Chorus]
'Cause it's true, I know just the place
My love is just one hop-skip away
You said, "Show me, don't tell me
'cause I miss you completely"
This time I ain't bluffing
No I ain't bluffing
It's true, yeah, I know just the place
My love is just one hop-skip away
You said, "Show me, don't tell me"
And, "I miss you completely"
This time I ain't bluffing
You're always my number one
You are always my number one
We had to know
If this was the real thing
I had to know
If you could change with me
You're up in Berlin at 8 am
I'm in Montréal still going strong
Walking back to the hostel
Did I cross your mind still?
If I don't got you
I don't want nothing
[Chorus]
It's true, yeah, I know just the place
My love is just one hop-skip away
You said, "Show me, don't tell me"
And, "I miss you completely"
This time I ain't bluffing
You're always my number one
[Verse 2]
You're out on your own
And every door opens
You're out on your own
Got the whole city showing
This intermission
Showed me what's missing
Yeah, this chandelier
It keeps on swinging
You called from the airport
Leaving from Hamburg
You said, "If I don't got you
I don't want nothing."
[Chorus]
It's true, yeah, I know just the place
My love is just one hop-skip away
You said, "Show me, don't tell me

This time I ain't bluffing
You're always my number one

No I ain't bluffing
It's true, yeah, I know just the place
My love is just one hop-skip away
You said, "Show me, don't tell me"
And, "I miss you completely"
This time I ain't bluffing
You're always my number one
You are always my number one
