Gimme A Little Somethin' Lyrics

My life is not as easy as you say.
My life is not anything but as the day.
My life is surrounded
By the things of the day
That have gone
My world is built on everything
That I want,
Can be won.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Love, love.

My heart is not as cold as you can say.
My heart is not anything but as the day.
My heart is warm
By the way that you love
And are gone.
My life is founded
On the thought that you two
Are just one.

Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Love, love.

Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.

Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song was written after the Moodies got their first taste of fame (1967 or 1968). Everyone thinks they have it made because of the fame, but all of the travelling gets in the way of his true goal - love.

I can't believe this song wasn't originally put on one of their albums (before Caught Live+5)- I think it would have fit on In Search of the Lost Chord or Threshold nicely. In fact, I think it had the potential to be a hit single.
