Lyrics

Gimmie some love, gimmie some love
Gimmie some I want you to know
Gimmie some love, gimmie some love
Sugar, that's the wrong wrong way to go

Open your arms, open your arms honey
And come right back home to me
Gimmie some love, gimmie some love
Sugar, that's the wrong wrong way to be

Can't you see
Where to be this time?
Simple pages on my mind

Kick it on back, kick it on back
Kick it on back to what you know
Gimmie some love, gimmie some love
Sugar on the hard rock radio

Where they play tunes, where they play tunes
Where they play riffs with a hard rock beat
Gimmie some love, gimmie some love
Sugar, from the jock with the old school meat

Can't you see
Where to be this time?
Simple pages on my mind

Give me something I can believe, oh baby

Can't you see
Where to be this time?
Simple pages on my mind

Kick it on back, kick it on back
Kick it on back to what you know
Gimmie some love, gimmie some love
Sugar on the hard rock radio

So gimmie some love (Gimmie some love, gimmie some love)
Gimmie some love (Gimmie some I want you to know)
Gimmie some love (Gimmie some love, gimmie some love)
Gimmie some love (Sugar, that's the wrong wrong way to go)
Gimmie some (Gimmie some love, gimmie some love)
Can't you see you're just me? (Gimmie some I want you to know)
(Gimmie some love, gimmie some love)
Turn these pages of my mind (Sugar, that's the wrong wrong way to go)
(Gimmie some love, gimmie some love)
Oh (Gimmie some I want you to know)
Oh (Gimmie some love, gimmie some love)
(Sugar, that's the wrong wrong way to go)
