Gimme, yeah-eah-eah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
Woah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
Gimme, yeah-eah-eah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
At the rock bottom baby crawl, crawl
I let you lick it from the ground, ground
'Cause I've been drippin' for your love, love (woah, woah)
It's all signed
All I can think about is you're mine
You and me in my bed at midnight (woah, woah)
And you can call me that bitch (woah, woah, oh, oh)
We can be over, over
And you can write if you know her, know her
Or we can ride and be over
Get it, say it, I'm your type
I know you been all this time
So get it right
To get around me
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Pick up the phone, come on, let's talk all about
That thing you do, the way you move, hell on my mouth
Let's get away, just me and you sometime (woah, woah, woah, woah)
You can call me that bitch (woah, woah, woah, woah)
Oh, you're mine to take
I wanna hear the sounds that you'll make
Drivin' me crazy with the way you whine (woah, woah, woah, woah)
And you can call me that bitch
We can be over, over
And you can write if you know her, know her
Or we can ride and be over
Get it, say it, I'm your type
I know you been all this time
So get it right
To get around me
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Got my attention on the prize
Was always something that I want though
And I can see it in your eyes, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme more
Yeah, yeah, gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it (give me it, give me it)
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it (give me it, give me it)
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it (give me it, give me it)
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Woah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
Gimme, yeah-eah-eah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
