Show Me Lyrics
Show me
I wish you'd show me
Show me
I wish you'd show me
[Verse 1: James Blake]
I heard you can show love
It's just not come out for me
I heard you had a sweet way
That I have yet to see
I wish you'd show me
I wish you'd show me
[Chorus]
Show me
I wish you'd show me
Show me (I wish you'd show)
I wish you'd show me
[Verse 2: Monica Martin, with James Blake]
I heard you know it's over
But you didn't get that from me
I heard you're wearing new colours
That no one has ever seen on you
I wish you'd show me (Mmm)
I wish you'd show me
'Cause there was nothing stopping you before
And nothing I'd have loved more
Than seeing you at your best
And I waited 'til me eyеs were sore
'Causе there's nothing I'd have wanted more
Than to see you at your best
[Chorus: Monica Martin & James Blake]
Show me
I wish you'd show me (Ah)
Show me
I wish you'd show me (Ah)
[Outro: James Blake]
I hope the person after
Gets all that you held from me
They get to be a fresh start
While I'm another casualty
I wish you'd show me
I wish you'd show me (I wish you'd show)

Monica Martin:
James Blake made a fucking incredible record and I was blesst to sing a duet with him 😩 the song is so pretty and speaks to a heavy relatable feeling so it touched me deeply 😭getting to know him, sweet Jameela Jamil, Josh Stadlen, by way of my producer KHUSHI (more on that king later) has been so meaningful to my life and the confidence that has led to the completion of my record. I love youuus!"

James Blake:
Monica is an incredible singer and incredible person—she’s fucking hilarious, and we’ve become friends. The song felt quite bare without her. It needed someone to step in, and it had to be exactly the right person, otherwise it’s not going to work. Again, Jameela made the suggestion. She came into the studio with Khushi and I, did the take in exactly the way I imagined, and it was glorious. I was just so excited, she was excited, it was a lovely moment.
