Story Behind The Song
Growing up, I was always the shy one who stepped out of the way to allow others to shine. I did it so much that everyone sort of expected it after a while. I would also take less than the best so as not to "rock any boats". It wasn't long before I star

Lyrics
The drug store is just a hop, skip and a jump to my refrigerator door (door). I've written many good songs, but who's keeping the score (score)? I have a dime, but it's not mine...the rent needs to be paid (paid). I'm much too soft, and much too light to be called a spade.
Chorus-
Give me, give me what I want the way I want it. Give me, give me how I want it without the blue and jaded. Give me, give me what I want the way I want it. Give me, give me what I want...what I want...what I want...what I want!
Verse 2-
Don't step on my toes if you don't want to tolerate all of my complainin'. I've got lots of words, but you still don't get what I am saying (saying). I have the time, but no unwind...the house needs to be clean (clean). I'm much too fascinating to be classified as a fiend. (Chorus).
Bridge-
I don't like to wait, but to rush gets a rougher version. I don't like to take, but to be used aint any sweeter...uh-uh. Oh woe! Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme! (Chorus).
