Ah, let me show ya
Let me show you the way to go
[Verse 1]
I don't know everything
But there's something I do know (I know, I know)
I've read and heard a lot
And now, we're ready to show
That we can come together and think like one
(Come together now)
Live together underneath the sun
Please, please let me show ya
[Chorus]
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(Follow me, my friend)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
[Verse 2]
Just put your trust in me
I'll try not to letcha down
(Letcha down, letcha down)
The job is hard to do
But only we can't let us down
'Cause we can help each other to overcome
We can do it, we can do it now
Now, trust everybody and get the job done
Please, please, please just let me show ya
[Chorus]
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(Follow me, my friend)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(Please follow me, now)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
That we can help each other to overcome
(We can do it, we can do it now)
Live together underneath the sun
Please, please, please just let me show ya
[Chorus]
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(Swear I'll never letcha down)
(Please follow me)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(We can do it, we can do it, we can do it now)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(Let me let me let me, just let me let me show ya now)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(I swear I'll never let you down)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(Let me let me let me show ya)
Let me show ya, let me show you the way to go
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me show you)
[Outro]
Um
Let me show you
I'll never letcha down
Never letcha down
I'll never let you down
Put your hand in mine
We can do it, we can do it
We can work it out, a-work it out
Work it, work it, work it out
Uh, uh, uh uh, uh, ummmmm
And get on top of the world
Let me show ya, let me show ya, let me show ya yeah
Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me show you
