Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Loving is a thing I crave
For your love, I'd be your slave (Oh, gimme some)
I said gimme some (Gimme some)
Oh, yeah
I can't stand it no longer, a-gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 2]
Don't be bashful, come over here
Whisper some sweet words in my ear (Oh, gimme some)
And gimme some (Gimme some)
Gimme some
I can't wait eight days, gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 3]
Come on over here and fill my cup
Love me so hard I can't stand up (Oh, gimme some)
Gimme some (Gimme some)
Gimme some
Don't you know I love it? Gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 4]
Just get close and walk with me
Ah-doo-wah-diddy-daddy, one, two, three (Oh, gimme some)
I said gimme some (Gimme some)
Oh, gimme some
Know I have to have it, gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 5]
I know that you wanna do what's right
Just come on and love me all night (Oh, gimme some)
And gimme some (Gimme some)
I tell ya I want some
I can't stand it no longer, a-gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 6]
I like cornbread nice and yellow
So I want you to be my fellow (Oh, gimme some)
I said gimme some (Gimme some)
Huh! Gimme some
Don't you know I love it, daddy? Gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 7]
Yeah, one of these mornings, just about dawn
You'll be working on my lawn (Oh, gimme some)
I said gimme some (Gimme some)
I said gimme some
I can't stand it no longer, gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 8]
I declare to my main
You gonna drive me stone insane (Oh, gimme some)
Ah, gimme some (Gimme some)
I said gimme some
I can't wait eight days, gimme some (Come on)
[Verse 9]
I like fried chicken, you know it's true
But there's no sweeter meat in the world than you
I want some day to be your wife
So you can thrill me the rest of your life
[Outro]
So stop stalling
Finish your drink and let's get balling (Oh, gimme some)
Gimme some (Gimme some)
Oh, gimme some
I can't stand it no longer
Why don't you gimme some?
