Donnez-Moi

Dusty Springfield · Other Songs - Dusty Springfield

I'm goin' down for the first time

I can't see, it's a state of my mind

Believin' you

Is gonna be the end of me

You don't seem to realise

All the signs, can't you recognise?

I need you

But are you needin' me?



Donnez-moi

Oh, give it to me

Donnez-moi

Ah, you know I want it

Donnez-moi

Come on and give it to me

Donnez-moi, donnez-moi

Donnez, donnez, donnez...



It's been a while since you came inside

Held me close and talked for a while

Baby, don't let me drift away

I'm going down for the last time

Won't you please throw me a line?

I need you

But are you needin' me?



Donnez-moi

Oh, give it to me

Donnez-moi

I feel my passion through it

Donnez-moi

Ah, I'm uncontrollable

Donnez-moi, donnez-moi

Come on and do it to me

Donnez-moi

Yes, I really want it

Donnez-moi

I taste the ?????

Donnez-moi

I've got to catch my breath

Donnez-moi, donnez-moi

Tu penses jamais



Oh, alone, without you

The signs of discontent,

Misgivings, delusions

No reason to believe

?????????

?????????

Gonna read your mind

Donnez, donnez, donnez...



I'm going down for the last time

Won't you please throw me a line?

Oh, baby, don't let me drift away



Donnez-moi

Oh, give it to me

Donnez-moi, donnez-moi

Bring that power to me

Donnez-moi

Come on, I really feel it

Donnez-moi, donnez-moi

Je viens, je viens, je viens

Donnez-moi

I'm feelin', wantin'

Donnez-moi

I want to feel your heat

Donnez-moi

Baise-moi

Donnez-moi, donnez-moi

Oh, give it to me

Donnez-moi

Oh, I want it

Donnez-moi, donnez-moi

I'm full of wantin' baby

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
