lyrics
Hey
Well, my temperature’s rising, and my feet on the floor
Crazy people knocking ’cause they’re wanting some more
Let me in, baby, I don’t know what you got
But you better take it easy, this place is hot
And I’m so glad we made it
So glad we made it, you gotta
Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some lovin’)
Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some lovin’)
Gimme some loving every day
Hey
Well, I feel so good, everything is getting high
You better take easy, ’cause the place is on fire
She know a thing, and I have so much to do
We made it, baby, and it happened to you
And I’m so glad we made it
So glad we made it, you gotta
Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some loving)
Gimme some lovin’ (gimme, gimme some loving)
Gimme some lovin’ every day (eh)
Hey
Well, I feel so good, everything is getting higher
You better take it easy, ’cause the place is on fire
Been a hard day and nothing went too good
Now I’m gonna relax like-a everybody should
And I’m so glad we made it, hey-hey
So glad we made it, you gotta
Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some loving)
Gimme some lovin’ (gimme, gimme some loving)
(Gimme, gimme some lovin’) hey, hey, baby
Gimme, gimme, gimme some lovin’, babe
You know I need-a some lovin’
(Gimme, gimme some loving)
