"Gimme Somethin'" lyrics

It's like a no-good woman
She gets you every time
She got you on your knees
Like a broken down disease

What, what, what can I say?
What, what, what more can I do?
How long will I last, how will I make it through?

Gimme somethin'
I don't care if it's nothin', oh, ooh, ooh
But a sweet smile, a kind gaze
I'll do anything you say
Gimme somethin'
You know it's better than nothin'
I'm alright alone all by myself, I don't need nobody else
Gimme somethin'

I got to take my chances
I got to spin that wheel
I'm steady flippin' them coins
And baby I've been missin' meals
But still I feel like shinin'
Pocket full of little yellow diamond
It's like the blind man said
Pretty soon you'll be seein' red

Gimme somethin'
You know it's better than nothin', oh ooh ooh
But a sweet smile, a kind gaze
I'll do anything you say
Gimme somethin'
You know it's better than nothin', oh ooh ooh
And I'm alright alone all by myself, I need nobody else
Gimme somethin'

Street took all my money
Done left me poor again
The street took all my money
The gamblin' man, I'm watchin' him grin
The street took all my money
Done left me poor again
The street took all my money
The gamblin' man, he's got my friend

What, what, what can I do?
What, what, what can I say?
Might as well let the money roll, 'cause you can't take it to your grave

Gimme somethin'
Don't care if it's nothin', oh, ooh, ooh
But a sweet smile, a kind gaze
I'll do anything you say
Gimme somethin'
You know it's better than nothin'
Yeah, I'm alright alone all by myself, don't need nobody else
Gimme somethin'
You know it's better than nothing, oh ooh ooh
But a sweet smile, a kind gaze
I'll do anything you say

Gimme somethin'
To believe in
Gimme somethin'
Gimme somethin'
To believe in
'Cause I'm stranded, and hurtin'
And to hand it
Gimme somethin'
