Spencer Davis Pete York Colin Hodgkinson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey!
Well my temperature's rising
And my feet left the floor
Crazy people knocking,
'cause they want some more.
Let me in baby,
I don't know what you got
You better take it easy.
This place is hot.
And I'm
So glad you made it
So glad you made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' everyday.

Hey!
My head's a-spinning
And I'm floating to sound
Too much is happening
'cause you're not around
It's been a hard day
And nothing went too good
I'm gonna relax
Like everybody should

And I'm
So glad you made it
So glad you made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' everyday

Hey!
I feel so good
Everything is gettin' higher.
You better take some time out
'cause the place is on fire.
Better stop baby
I have so much to do.
We made it, baby.
And it happened to you.

So glad you made it
So glad you made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' everyday.

So glad you made it
So glad you made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin'




Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' everyday.
