Give It To Me Lyrics

You've got to Give It To Me
You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me

You're so slick now, know every trick now
You know I want it, I want it so bad
You know I need it, I can't believe it
So come on baby, Please relieve it

Now you've been bugging me, Every night now
You say you want it, You want it right now
I can't get to it, I can't get through it
So come on baby, Please

You've got to get it up (give it up)
You've got to get it up (give it up)
You've got to get it up (give it up)
You've got to get it up (give it up)

Why keep me cold
When it's so warm inside
Come on baby
Your love is too good to hide

Give It To Me

One of the most popular J. Geils Band songs from the group's early years, this one is unusually carnal, with Peter Wolf making it very clear in his vocal delivery what he's asking for in "Give It To Me."

Wolf wrote the song with the group's keyboard player Seth Justman.

J. Geils Band had their biggest hits in the '80s with "Freeze-Frame" and "Centerfold," but that was the culmination of a long career that included lots of blues-based boogie music like this track.

"Give It To Me" was cut down to 3:07 for radio play, but the full version runs a healthy 6:32, with showcase spots for many of the band members. Seth Justman gets a long solo on organ, which is followed by a guitar spot by J. Geils (the group's guitarist was the band's namesake) and an extended harmonica solo by Magic Dick. The song became a concert favorite, and one that established the J. Geils Band as a great live act. The live version from their album Blow Your Face Out is the one many radio stations play, as it captures the energy of their shows.

Heineken beer used this in commercials in 2002.

Bill Szymczyk produced the Bloodshot album, which was recorded at the Hit Factory in New York City. Szymczyk would later produce the Eagles, including their albums On the Border and Hotel California.
