[Verse 1]
(Hey!)
Well my temperature's rising and my feet on the floor
Crazy people knocking 'cause they're wanting some more
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you got
But you better take it easy, this place is hot

[Chorus]
And I'm so glad we made it
So glad we made it
I want, gimme some-a lovin'
Gimme some-a lovin'
Gimme some-a lovin', every day

[Verse 2]
(Hey!)
Well, my head's a-spinning and I'm floating to sound
Too much is happening 'cause you're not around
It's been a hard day and nothing went too good
I'm gonna relax like-a everybody should

[Chorus]
And I'm so glad we made it
So glad we made it
I want you, gimme some-a lovin'
Gimme some-a lovin'
Gimme some-a lovin', everyday

[Verse 3]
(Hey!)
Well, I feel so good, everything is getting higher
You better take some time off 'cause the place is on fire
Better stop baby 'cause I have so much to do
We made it, baby, and it happened to you

[Outro]
And I'm so glad we made it
So glad we made it
(Gimme some a-lovin') Every day
(Gimme some a-lovin') Every night
(Gimme some a-lovin') Ooh-hoo!
(Gimme some-a lovin') Gimme some a-lovin' every day
(Gimme some a-lovin') Hey, hey, baby
(Gimme some a-lovin') Ooh-hoo
(Gimme some a-lovin'), Oh, every day
(Gimme some a-lovin'), Give your love

The Spencer Davis Group

The Spencer Davis Group was a British rock band and part of the “British Invasion.” The are best known for their songs “Gimme Some Lovin'” and “I’m a Man,” and as the starting place for Stevie Winwood.

They were formed in 1963 in Birmingham, Wales by guitarist and singer Spencer Davis (b. Spencer Davies), with brothers Stevie (vocals, organ, piano) and Muff (bass) Winwood, and drummer Pete York. They began playing covers of American Blues and R&B, and quickly gained a following in the local music scene. They released their first single, a cover of the John Lee Hooker song “Dimples,” in 1965.

Later that year, they released their breakout single, “Gimme Some Lovin',” which reached #1 on the British charts. The song was notable for Winwood’s (who was only 19 at the time) soulful singing, which was so convincing the single was banned by several segregated radio stations in the US, who thought Linwood was black.
