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 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 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 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
