Gimme Love
Uriah Heep Lyrics

Love, love, love
The singer is in search of love and it is his primary motive.

I'm looking for love
The singer recognizes the importance of love and is actively seeking it.

Love, love, love
Repetition of the aforementioned motive.

When I was only sixteen
The artist provides context for his story by disclosing his age.

Well, give it take a year or more
The artist acknowledges that he is unsure of the exact timeline of his story.

I've got to singing about
The singer began expressing his feelings through music.

The life I've lead
The singer includes personal experiences into his music.

And I threw it right out of the door
The artist is opening himself up to new and adventurous experiences.

I've got to get some of
The artist is curious and eager to experience something new.

That heavy jive
The artist wants to be part of the exciting and modern trends.

That the old folks are talkin' about
The singer is interested in modern music and wants to move on from traditional music.

So I strutted my stuff
The artist is confident and ready to show others what he can do.

To the local club
The singer goes to a nearby club for the opportunity to experience and perform the heavy jive.

To see what I was leaving now
The singer is considering leaving his old ways behind in search of something new.

Looking for love, love, love
Repetition of the primary motivation.

Looking, looking for love
Repetition of actively seeking love.

Love, love, love
Repetition of love being the primary motive.

I took my seat at
The singer settled in to watch the performers.

The foot of the stage
The singer sits close to the stage to get a better view of the performance.

And waited for the fun to begin
The artist eagerly anticipates the entertainment to start.

And there in the light
The artist sees the performer clearly.

Stood this heavy chick
The artist sees an attractive woman.

With the cutest babe
The performer has attractive qualities and features.

That I've ever seen
The performer is strikingly beautiful.

She smiled at me
The woman acknowledges and reciprocates the singer's attention.

She did her dance
The woman performed for the singer's pleasure.

Took me by surprise
The woman's performance was unexpected and enjoyable.

The way she wiggled her hips
The woman has a sensual and attractive dance performance.

And she shook that ?
The woman's performance was so captivating it surprised the artist.

Right between the eyes
The singer was struck with awe and captivated by the woman's dance performance.

After the show she came
The woman approached the singer after her performance.

And sat down
The woman makes herself comfortable near the artist.

Said, hi son, what's your name?
The woman initiates a conversation with the artist.

I said, never mind that
The artist is dismissive of the superficialities of identity and focuses on priorities.

Think about this:
The singer guides the conversation towards his priorities.

Loving's the name of my game
The artist communicates his primary motive to the woman.

She said, that's alright
The woman is unphased by the singer's priorities.

But it'll cost you, son
The woman requires something in exchange for her time and attention.

I said, tell me what's
The singer is willing to negotiate terms to satisfy both parties.

The price of the day
The artist demands to know the woman's price for her company.

She said, twenty dime
The woman quotes her price as twenty cents.

And a wedding ring
The woman wants a wedding ring as well as monetary compensation.

And everything will be O.K.
The woman guarantees her satisfaction in exchange for compensation.
