Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world

Oh, it's a pretty idea, walk this world like a messiah
But it will bring you to tears, and people will call you a liar
And when the scorners in the corners spread their anguish every morning
I just wish that there's a God that can hear me

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world

When people passing you by, you'll always be a child in yearning
You say that you will get by, but the sadness in your heart is burning
And here comes Chuck, he says "Lend me a buck"
Next thing you're lying on the sidewalk bleeding

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world

Oh Lord, I need your help now
To feel love 'cause I've forgotten how
And it's so hard you see
When all the scruitinizers, brutalizers, hipster jerks and bad advisors
Make my ears and my eyes bleed
I said, please!
Oh, Lord!

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
Give me love, oh, give me love to give
Give me love, oh, give me love to give
Give me love, oh, give me love to give
Give me love, oh, give me love to give

(Ooh yeah gimme gimme love)

Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
Say will my prayer be heard?
