Lyrics
Let me show you I love you
Expressing a desire to demonstrate love
Each and every day
Commitment to expressing love consistently
I would not havin'
Preferential choice, not wanting any other way
Any other way
Emphasizing a commitment to a specific way of expressing love
My mother she taught me
Acknowledging influence from the speaker's mother
How to show you my love
Learning from the mother how to express love
Because my way's in action
Highlighting the importance of actions over words
Speak much louder than words
Emphasizing that actions speak louder than words
Put your arms around my waist
Inviting physical closeness as a form of expressing love
And look direct in my face
Requesting direct eye contact during the demonstration of love
And I'll show you I love you
Promising to show love in a unique and irreplaceable way
And no one else can take your place
Asserting the exclusivity of the listener's place in the speaker's heart
Let me show you I love you
Reiteration of the desire to demonstrate love consistently
Each and every day
Stressing the commitment to expressing love daily
Because I would not never havin'
Reaffirming the preference for a specific way of expressing love
Any other way
Highlighting the unwavering commitment to the chosen expression of love
Put your arms around my waist
Repetition of the invitation for physical closeness
And look me direct in my face
Reiteration of the importance of direct eye contact in expressing love
And I'll show you I love you
Renewing the promise to show love in a distinctive way
And no one else can take your place
Asserting the irreplaceability of the listener in the speaker's affections
