[Verse 1]
These are the eyes
That never knew how to smile
'Til you came into my life
And these are the arms
That long to lock you inside
Every day and every night
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh baby
Here is the soul of which you've taken control
To know I'm trying to show love has arrived
[Chorus]
Oh, show and tell
Just a game I play
When I want to say "I love you"
Oh, now, show me
And tell me you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby, baby
[Verse 2]
These are the hands
That can't help reaching for you
If you're anywhere inside
And these are the lips
That can't help calling your name
In the middle of the night
[Pre-Chorus]
And baby, here is the man
That needs to know where he stands
Don't you know I've done all I can, so decide
[Chorus]
Ooh girl, show and tell
It's just a game I play
When I want to say "I love you"
Oh oh, now, show me
And tell me you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do
Baby, baby, baby, baby
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, say you do, baby
Oh, and baby
Here is the soul of which you've taken control
Don't you know
I'm trying to show love has arrived
[Chorus]
Ooh, girl, show and tell
Just a game I play
When I want to say "I love you"
Oh, now, show me
And tell me you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby, baby, baby, baby
Show and tell just a game I play
When I want to say "I love you"
Oh, now, show me, and tell me
You feel the same way too
The same way, baby, oh, whoa, oh, now
Show and tell just a game I play
When I want to say "I love you"
Show me, and tell me you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Bridge]
I wanna hear you when you say
Love to hear you say it
(I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you)
Say it, ah sugar, won't you show me (show and tell)
I wanna hear you say it (show and tell)
Say it, girl
(I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you)
Whoa oh (show and tell)
Show you one thing (show and tell)
[Chorus]
Show and tell (show me)
Just a game I play, when I want to say "I love you"
(I, I love you, baby)
Show and tell
Just a game I play, when I want to say "I love you"
(Oh, sugar, when you show me, show you one thing)
Show and tell (oh, oh, oh, oh) I love you

Show and tell (ah baby, oh, sugar, let me show you)
I love you (I wanna hear you say it, won't you tell me)
Show and tell

(I love you, baby)

Just a game I play, when I want to say "I love you"
