A Little Bit of Emotion
The Kinks
C
See all the people
G F
With hatred in their eyes
C G
I can't help thinking that
F
It's only a disguise
C G
Cause underneath that core
F
There's got to be more
G
Than what we realize
C
Maybe they're scared
G F
To let the inside out
C
Maybe they're afraid to
G F
Show what they're all about
C G F
So they put on a heavy front and hope that no one else
G
Can work them out
Am F G
So they put on all the heaviness
Am F G
But its only an illusion heaviness
F
Can't you see
G
They're scared to
C G F
Show a little bit of emotion
C G F
A little bit of real emotion
C G F
In case a little bit of emotion
G
Gives them away
C G F
Look at that lady dancing around with no clothes
C
She'll give you all her body
G F
That's if you've got the dough
C
She'll let you see most
G F
Anything but there's one thing
G
That she'll never show
C G F
And that's a little bit of real emotion
C G F
A little bit of true emotion
C G F
In case a little bit of emotion
G
Gives her away
Am F G
But it's a shame she's acting that way
Am F G
Somehow she's gotta get through every day
F G
And the only way
C G F
Is not to show one little bit of emotion
C G F
A little bit of true emotion
C G F G
In case a little bit of emotion gives her away
(Break)
AM
People learn their lines
G
And they act out their part
F
Then they talk on cue
C
But it's got no heart
Am
It's all on the surface
G
And it's all contrived
F
They're scared to come out
G
Somehow they've got to survive
C
Look at that looney
G F
With a smile on his face
C
He knows no shame
G F
And feels no disgrace
G C
He's got a look in his eyes
G F G
That makes it seem that he's from outer space
C G F
Maybe that looney knows what it's all about
G C
He's got something to say
G F G
But he can't spit it out
C G F
He's unco-ordinated so we - shut him out
G C G F
In case he shows a little bit of emotion
C G F
A little bit of real emotion
C G F
We're afraid to see a bit of emotion
G
So we walk away
C G F
Show a little bit of real emotion
C G F
Show a little bit of emotion
C G F
We're afraid to see a bit of emotion
G
So we walk away
