You, you are the one that keeps me on a string You, play fast and loose with me, my friend But you don't understand Only you, you promised me the earth and even more You, you broke your word, and let me down so many nights before But it's you my heart is beating for It's simply you that I adore

 

Gimme, gimme happiness, Gimme a little tenderness So don't walk out on me Baby, can't you see It ain't fair I want my share Gimme your sweet caress Don't gimme loneliness

 

You, you let me live in a fool's paradise You, you call me on the phone to say tonight you'll stay away But it's you my heart is beating for It's simply you that I adore

 

Gimme, gimme happiness, Gimme a little tenderness So don't walk out on me Baby, can't you see It ain't fair I want my share Gimme, gimme happiness, Gimme a little tenderness So don't walk out on me Baby, can't you see It ain't fair I want my share Gimme your sweet caress Don't gimme loneliness

 

Gimme, gimme happiness, Gimme a little tenderness So don't walk out on me Baby, can't you see It ain't fair I want my share Gimme, gimme happiness, Gimme a little tenderness So don't walk out on me Baby, can't you see It ain't fair I want my share Gimme your sweet caress Don't gimme loneliness
