Gimme Love
The Radios Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gimme Love

I give you ice cream cones
and telephones
and surf boards
and sunshine

I thought it was only invented

For stories and movie shows
A trick to be taken for granted
By Saturday night Romeos

But now as I'm watching sincerely
I get down to a different view
I only want you to be near me
There's nothing that
I wouldn't do

Gimme love gimme sweet love
Whenever I feel blue
Gimme love gimme sweet love
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you

I know that I don't have a reason
To sit by the telephone
It may be a slip of the season
But I tend to feel sad and alone
I sent you my heart in a letter
And roses and everything
So call me the sooner the better
And all of the angels will sing

Gimme love gimme sweet love
Whenever I feel blue
Gimme love gimme sweet love
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you

Repeat previous twice

Gimme love gimme sweet love
Whenever I feel blue

Gimme love gimme sweet love
That's all I want from you

Line by Line Meaning

I give you ice cream cones
I offer you sweet treats as a gesture of my affection

and telephones
And the means to communicate with me whenever you wish

and surf boards
And fun experiences that we can share together

and sunshine
And bright, happy days while we're together

I thought it was only invented
I used to believe love was just a concept created for entertainment purposes

For stories and movie shows
Only seen in fictional works of art like films and books

A trick to be taken for granted
Something that is not truly worthy of our attention

By Saturday night Romeos
Only pursued by those who enjoy short-term flings or one-night stands

But now as I'm watching sincerely
But as I truly examine my feelings and emotions

I get down to a different view
I realize that my perspective has shifted

I only want you to be near me
I realize that all I want is to be with you

There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I am willing to do anything to make our love work

Gimme love gimme sweet love
Give me your love, your sweet and caring affection

Whenever I feel blue
Especially when I am feeling down or sad

I know that I don't have a reason
I acknowledge that my sadness may not be rational or logical

To sit by the telephone
To wait for your call or text, even without a specific reason

It may be a slip of the season
Perhaps it's just a temporary shift in my mood

But I tend to feel sad and alone
But I do tend to feel lonely when you're not around

I sent you my heart in a letter
I expressed my deep feelings for you in writing

And roses and everything
And symbolically sent gifts of love and adoration

So call me the sooner the better
Please call me back as soon as you can, I am eagerly waiting for your response

And all of the angels will sing
My joy and happiness will be celebrated not just by me, but by the whole universe

That's all I want from you
All I truly want from you is your love and companionship
