## **Lyrics**

**Verse 1**

Worlds fly by

Drove by your place, and stopped again tonight

I know I said that I'm too scared to try

But I still think about you, think about you

I can't lie

I like the feeling how you make me shy

I'll share my secrets, and I will not hide

I know that one could be two, one could be two

**Chorus**

Gimmie love

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Gimmie touch

'Cause I want what I want, do you think that I want too much?

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Fall into me and then...

Gimmie love

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Gimmie please

'Cause I want what I want, but with you it's what I need

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

**Verse 2**

Eyes so bright

You've got a hold of me the whole damn night

I toss and turn, but still I can't sleep right

I should've asked you to stay, begged you to stay

**Pre-Chorus**

But when I get right next to you

I hear this heartbeat break in two

I feel the earthquake in the room and so I pray

Fall into me and then

**Chorus**

Gimmie love

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Gimmie touch

'Cause I want what I want, do you think that I want too much?

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

*(Gimmie love, gimmie love)*

Fall into me and then...

Gimmie love *(Gimmie lo-oh-ove)*

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Gimmie please *(Oh, please)*

'Cause I want what I want, but with you it's what I need

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

*(Gimmie love, gimmie love)*

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

**Bridge**

Gimmie love

*(Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)*

It's the way we are together

*(Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)*

Wanna feel like this forever, forever

*(Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)*

It's the way we are together

And I never thought I'd ever say forever

**Chorus**

Gimmie love *(Gimmie lo-oh-ove)*

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Gimmie touch *(Oh, touch me)*

'Cause I want what I want, do you think that I want too much?

*(Want too much?)*

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

*(Gimmie love, gimmie love)*

Fall into me and then...

Gimmie love

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

Gimmie please

'Cause I want what I want, but with you it's what I need

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

*(Gimmie love, gimmie love, give me love)*

Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love

**Outro**

Gimmie love

## **Writing and development**

Gimmie Love was written sometime in early 2015 alongside alongside Swedish song-writing and production duo Mattman & Robin, being described by Jepsen as the 'third to last' song of the album to be finished.  The song was written in just a single day, in Jepsen's last writing session with the pair at a studio in Los Angeles. Mattman & Robin had came to visit Jepsen in California as they felt the partnership was right with Jepsen, describing themselves as 'really like-minded writers.'

The concept behind the song originated from Jepsen 'pining for somebody' she was too afraid to admit her feelings for - these feelings materialised in the lyrics, 'give me love, give me everything that I want', which the song was then written around. 'We had one last session together, and I showed up and we began writing it. The song came out in just one day, and it was here in one of the LA studios.’  'It was really easy to write - I did it with Mattias Larsson and Robin Fredriksson, two Swedes that I’m huge friends with and a huge fan of'. Jepsen described the song as one of her favourites, commenting 'it’s a simple and just really crazy map to someone.'
