Gimme Somethin’ True Lyrics by Basement Jaxx

Scars

2009

Those lonely nights you spent without me baby done something to you
Those loving nights when we were one without a care we used to do
I need to find the love we lost and hide between the cracks of what we knew
Another soul I go wonder through the maze of love and can't find something true

Know the dawn is coming soon
But baby hold me close and set me free
Because the magic is the music, and the music is my melody
C'mon now, gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme something true
C'mon now, gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme something true

(Basement Jaxx... Representin' New York City)

Those lonely nights you spent without me baby done something to you
Those loving nights when we were one without a care we used to do
If we could face the family beat we'd find the rhythm to set our mind and body free
But girl it's magic when we touch, oh when we touch just you and me

Know the dawn is coming soon
But baby hold me close and set me free
Because the magic is the music, and the music is my melody
C'mon now, gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme something true
C'mon now, gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme something true

(Everybody get up)
(Everybody get up)

[rap at 3:24]
Cause the New York Jazz
Represent b-bop, representing the funk
And learn the beat don't stop
Basement Jaxx on the track with the Clack-Clack
Cause the jams vocal
With the groove with the stack stack
Brooklyn qualee a motion [?]
Pretty baby with the rhythm hold that body close to me
Flowing is dope this beat goin' and hopefully
London got the rhythm and the rhyme to make you get down
And we don't stop
Jumpin bass gonna make the place red hot
Can't stop, won't stop, buzzin like a barber shop
(and they got the rhythm and the rhyme to make you get down)
And you can smile if you wanna
Do the damn think like the sun ain't gon' come tomorrow
Because it always will
Rollin' with the digi on the wheels of steel
Rollin' with the digi on the wheels of steel
(and make a little noise, let 'em know what you feel.)
Put your hands in the air, show how you feel
Say Bounce Bounce
(Bounce Bounce)
Say
And Say

(New York!)
Dancin' through the raindrops, we be
Dancin' through the raindrops, we be

Dancin' through the raindrops, we
Dancin' through the raindrops, we

OK

Get up on it
C'mon now, get up on it
Get up on it

Get on on it
Get on on it
(alright)
Get on on it
Basement Jaxx (oh)
C'mon
Put your umbrellas down
Put 'em down, put 'em down
Yeah
And dance through the raindrops

Representing London
London style, London beat, London smile
Dancing throught the streets of Soho
Act like you know know

Clack-Clack, take my picture man
Here
Now hold it right there
