[Verse]
I know you’re coming on strong
With all the talk and the lines
You’re laying it all on so thick
How you just want to be mine
[Verse]
You know I’ve heard it all before
From other men so many times
Here’s some advice on what to do
If you really wanna try to be mine
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
Don’t tell me you love me…show me
Don’t tell me you need me…convince me
Don’t tell me you want me…hold me
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse]
Empty words only get you so far
It’s the actions that win the game
So put those promises into motion
If you want me to feel the same
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
Don’t tell me you love me…show me
Don’t tell me you need me…convince me
Don’t tell me you want me…hold me
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
[Verse]
Hopefully now you get the picture
Hopefully by now you can see
Just what it is you need to know
To have a relationship with me
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
Don’t tell me you love me…show me
Don’t tell me you need me…convince me
Don’t tell me you want me…hold me
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Words are always only words
They can change day by day
What you do matters much more
Than anything you could say
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
Don’t tell me you love me…show me
Don’t tell me you need me…convince me
Don’t tell me you want me…hold me
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
[Final Chorus]
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
Don’t tell me you love me…show me
Don’t tell me you need me…convince me
Don’t tell me you want me…hold me
Don’t tell me how you feel
That’s just so easy to do
Put in a little bit of effort
Let me know the real you
