Gimme Some Lovin'
Great White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crazy people rocking like they wanted some more
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you've got
But you better take it easy, this town is hot
I'm so glad we made it
I'm so glad we made it
You've got to give me some loving
You've got to give me your love every day
Well I feel so good, everything is kind of high
Better take it easy because the place is on fire
Been a hard day and I had some work to do
We made it, baby, it could happen to you
I'm so glad we made it
I'm so glad we made it
You've got to give me some loving
You've got to give me some loving
You've got to give me your love every day
Well I feel so good, everything is kind of high
Better take it easy because the place is on fire
Been a hard day, nothing hurt too good
Going to relax, honey, everybody should
I'm so glad we made it
I'm so glad we made it
You've got to give me some loving
You've got to give me some loving
You've got to give me some loving
You've got to give me some loving
You've got to give me your love every day
