You Got Me Hummin'
Dave Sam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's gettin' to me
It makes my cold nights hot
Hot winds just blow right through me
Oh, power
Lady, it's in your hands
You got me hummin' now
I wake up early at night
I can't go back to sleep now
Even walk in the red lights
Tired of talking, I try to sleep
Look here if I try to walk
That's when my feet start a runnin'
'Cause you got me hummin' now
You got me hummin' now
I don't know what you got
But it's gettin' to me
It makes my cold nights hot
Hot winds just blow right through me
Look here if I try to walk
That's when my feet start a runnin'
'Cause you got me hummin' now
'Cause you got me hummin' now
You got me hummin' now
You got me hummin', oh
You got me hummin', oh yeah
You got me hummin', oh
The lyrics of Dave Sam's song "You Got Me Hummin'" is a romantic and upbeat tune about being under the spell of a woman.

He says that he can't sleep at night because of her, and even when he tries to walk away from her, his feet start to run back to her. The singer is completely under her spell and can't resist her allure. The humming in the song is a metaphor for how she has him under her spell, and he can't help but feel a deep attraction towards her.

I don't know what you got
I am unsure about what you possess
But it's gettin' to me
Whatever it is, it is affecting me
It makes my cold nights hot
It warms me up even on the coldest of nights
Hot winds just blow right through me
I am overcome by a strong feeling like a gust of wind
Oh, power
The force you have is impressive
Lady, it's in your hands
The power you hold is in your hands
'Cause you got me hummin' now
You have captured my attention and made me feel alive
I wake up early at night
I awaken prematurely in the middle of the night
I can't go back to sleep now
I am unable to return to sleep
Even walk in the red lights
I am so restless that I even wander around during the night
Tired of talking, I try to sleep
I am worn out from conversing and seek rest
Look here if I try to walk
If I attempt to move, take note
That's when my feet start a runnin'
It feels as though I've started running as soon as I take steps
You got me hummin', oh
You have me excited and electrified

Let 'em look. At least you're not blastin' out the hip-hop, raggamuffin, drum-and-bass, rave-paty, re-mix of Puff, the Magic Fucking Dragon. (Same age as Holly, btw. Let's get it on, Holly baby!)
