Gimme
Ralph Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m good at floatin', floatin′ on the waves
I'm good at waitin', waitin′ for a change
But I′m ony human, babe (I'm only human)
Don′t make me wait all day

So come on, give it to me, give it to me
The shoes, the rings, the Chanel choker
Give it to me, give it to me
The life with a view and the limo chauffeur
Give it to me, give it to me
A good bottle of red to split with my friends
Give it to me

G-I-M-M-E
Give me all of the honey
I've been P-A-T-I-E-N-T
That spells patient, I′m so patient
You know what they say
"Do the work and you'll get paid"
I′ve been P-A-T-I-E-N-T
I'm so patient

So give it to me, give it to me
I'm so patient
So give it to me, give it to me

I keep on holding, holding out for more
′Cause I got this feeling I just can′t ignore
I'm only human, babe (I′m only human)
Don't make me wait all day

So come on, give it to me, give it to me
The shoes, the rings, the Chanel choker
Give it to me, give it to me
The life with a view and the limo chauffeur
Give it to me, give it to me
A good bottle of red to split with my friends
Give it to me

G-I-M-M-E
Give me all of the honey
I′ve been P-A-T-I-E-N-T
That spells patient, I'm so patient
You know what they say
"Do the work and you′ll get paid"
I've been P-A-T-I-E-N-T
I'm so patient

So give me all the clovers and the horseshoes, too
When′s that good luck gonna, gonna come through?
So give me all of the clovers and the horseshoes, too
When′s that good luck gonna, gonna come through?

G-I-M-M-E
Give me all of the honey
I've been P-A-T-I-E-N-T
That spells patient, I′m so patient
You know what they say
"Do the work and you'll get paid"
I′ve been P-A-T-I-E-N-T
I'm so patient

So give it to me, give it to me




I′m so patient
So give it to me, give it to me

“I’m so patient, so give it to me” is such a genius comedic line.
