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 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
