Give It to You
Jordan Knight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you had some
You say I turn you on
Like a fire that's burning inside
You think that I'm the one
You see in your dreams
I know what you mean yeah
It's creepin around in your head
You don't have to say a word
I'm convinced you want this
[Chorus]
Baby you know I can give it to you
I can't deny you do it right
Just let me know and I'll give it to you
Just show me where, I'll take you there
Baby you know that I'll give it to you
Your body needs a man like me
Anything goes when I give it to you
You know without a doubt, I'll turn you out
I'll give it to you
The feeling is fine, giving you everything of mine
I'm the place to be
And soon, you'll see
I don't care who leads
As long as we move horizontally
Anyone can make you sweat
But I, can keep you wet
It's creepin' around in my head
Me holding you down in my bed
I can't wait to give you some
I'm convinced you need it
Baby you know I can give it to you
I can't deny you do it right
Just let me know and I'll give it to you
Just show me where, I'll take you there
Baby you know that I'll give it to you
Your body needs a man like me
Anything goes when I give it to you
You know without a doubt, I'll turn you out
I'll give it to you
The feeling is fine, giving you everything of mine
It's creepin' around in my head
Me holding you down in my bed
You don't have to say a word
Just relax, I'll do the work
I can't wait to give you some
I'm convinced you need one
Baby you know I can give it to you
I can't deny you do it right
Just let me know and I'll give it to you
Just show me where, I'll take you there
Baby you know that I'll give it to you
Your body needs a man like me
Anything goes when I give it to you
You know without a doubt, I'll turn you out
I'll give it to you
The feeling is fine, giving you everything of mine
I want to satisfy your every wish and mine baby
I know just what you need,(you need)to get you off
No one could ever do you like I do you right baby
There's nothing we can't do
The feeling is fine giving you everything of mine
The lyrics of Jordan Knight's "Give It to You" are about a man who promises to satisfy a woman's physical desires. The song talks about how the woman has been longing for physical intimacy and how the man can fulfill those desires. The man is confident in his ability to please the woman and make her dreams come true. He promises to do anything to make her feel good and satisfy her every wish. The chorus repeats the message of the song, that the man is willing and able to give the woman what she wants, and that she won't be disappointed. The lyrics are straightforward, with no deep or complex meaning, as the song is simply about physical pleasure.
The lyrics can be seen as objectifying women, reducing them to mere objects of desire without any emotional connection. The repeated use of phrases like "I'll give it to you" and "your body needs a man like me" reinforces this idea. However, the song is a product of its time, and the lyrics reflect the hypersexuality of the late 90s and early 2000s. The song was a hit when it was released, and it helped establish Jordan Knight as a solo artist after his success with New Kids on the Block.
