The Kinks - Little Bit of Emotion lyrics
[The Kinks - Little Bit of Emotion lyrics]
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 can work them out
So they put on all the heaviness
But it's only 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 dancing
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 gotta 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
And they act out their part
Then 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 unco-ordinated 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
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 can work them out
So they put on all the heaviness
But it's only 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 dancing
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 gotta 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
And they act out their part
Then 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 unco-ordinated 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
