Little Bit of Emotion

See all the people
With hatred in their eyes
I can't help thinking that
It's only a disguise
'Cause underneath that core
There's got to be more
Than what we realize

Maybe they're scared
To let the inside out
Maybe they're afraid to
Show what they're all about
So they put on a heavy front
And hope that no one else
Could work them out

So they put on all the heaviness
But its only an illusion heaviness
Can't you see, they're scared to?

Show a little bit of emotion
A little bit of real emotion
In case a little bit of emotion
Gives them away

Look at that lady dancin' around with no clothes
She'll give you all her body
That's if you've got the dough
She'll let you see 'most
Anything but there's one thing
That she'll never show

And that's a little bit of real emotion
A little bit of true emotion
In case a little bit of emotion
Gives her away

But it's a shame she's acting that way
Somehow she's got to get through every day
And the only way

Is not to show one little bit of emotion
A little bit of true emotion
In case a little bit of emotion
Gives her away

People learn their lines
They act out their part
They talk on cue
But it's got no heart
It's all on the surface
And it's all contrived
They're scared to come out
Somehow they've got to survive

Look at that looney
With a smile on his face
He knows no shame
And feels no disgrace
He's got a look in his eyes
That makes it seem
That he's from outer space

Maybe that looney knows
What it's all about
He's got something to say
But he can't spit it out
He's uncoordinated
And so we shut him out

In case he shows a little bit of emotion
A little bit of real emotion
We're afraid to see a bit of emotion
So we walk away

Show a little bit of real emotion
Show a little bit of emotion
We're afraid to see a bit of emotion
So we walk away
