Gimmie Love
Jepsen Carly Rae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drove by your place and stopped again tonight
I know I said that I'm too scared to try
But I still think about you, think about you
And I can't lie
I like the feeling, how you make me shy
I share my secrets and I will not hide
I know that one could be two, one could be two
Gimmie love
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie touch
'Cause I want what I want, do you think that I want too much?
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Fall into me
Gimmie love
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie please
'Cause I want what I want, boy you, it's what I need
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Eyes so bright
You got a hold of me the whole damn night
I toss and turn but still I can't sleep right
I should've asked you to stay, begged you to stay
But when I get right next to you
I hear this heart beat break in two
I feel the earthquake in the room and so I pray
Fall into me and then
Gimmie love
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie touch
'Cause I want what I want, do you think that I want too much?
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Fall into me
Gimmie love (give love)
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie please
'Cause I want what I want, boy you, it's what I need
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
(Gimmie love)
It's the way we are together (oh oh oh)
Wanna feel like this forever, forever (oh oh oh)
It's the way we are together (oh oh oh)
And I never thought I'd ever say forever
Gimmie love (gimmie love)
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie touch (oh touch me)
'Cause I want what I want, do you think that I want too much? (too much)
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love (gimmie love, gimmie love)
Fall into me
Gimmie love
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie please
'Cause I want what I want, boy you, it's what I need
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love
