Lyrics Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson

Gimme What You Want

It's no good, it's no fun

You're unhappy with ten secret loves

If your lover has one

It's no fair, you say there's no way

You're unhappy with all of the rules

When your lover starts to play, starts to play

All the little games that you've been playing

Two can play the game, there's an old, old saying

What you give is what you get

So if you plant the seeds of wildflower

Don't expect to tame a mild flower

If you plan to cheat and keep on lying

Don't expect for me to sit home crying

Gimme what you want, what you want, baby

There's no tears, there's no laughter

True love leaves you and you're just a shell

For the ones who come after

The ones who come after

Every square inch of ground you cover

Will circle back to hunt you down, lover

What you give is what you get

So if you plant the seeds of wildflower

Don't expect to tame a mild flower

If you plan to cheat and keep on lying

Don't expect for me to sit home crying

Gimme what you want, what you want, baby

Gimme what you want, what you want, baby, oh...

Yeah

There's no joy, no smile

It's no fun taming all your playthings

If your real thing runs wild, runs wild

Think about it, baby

That's all you gotta do

And give me what you'd give me

If I were you

'Cause what you give is what you get

So if you plant the seeds of wildflower

Don't expect to tame a mild flower

If you plan to cheat and keep on lying

Don't expect for me to sit home crying

Gimme what you want, what you want, baby

Gimme what you want, what you want, baby

If you plant the seeds of wildflower

Don't expect to tame a mild flower

If you plan to cheat and keep on lying

Don't expect for me to sit home crying

Gimme what you want, what you want, baby

Gimme what you want, what you want, baby...
