"Gimme The Word" lyrics - PAUL ANKA

[Paul]
Like a rubber band wound too tight
Stretched to the limit, that's what it's like
If you've been sittin' back seein' just how much I can take
This is it, I'm about to break

[Karla]
Don't rush me honey, that's not the way
You gotta be patient if you want me to play
Boy:Like a runner waitin' for a gun
Anticipation's got me all undone

[Paul]
Gimme the word, you know I got to hear it
Girl:Gimme the word, gimme the word, gimme the
Gimme the word, you know I got to hear it
Gimme the green light, tonight

[Karla]
Spell it out, you know I want to-ooh, ooh...

[Karla]
Easy come and easy go
I really like you so I'm takin' it slow
I made up my mind from the moment we met
Only way to you was to play hard to get

[Paul]
When an irresistible force meets an immovable mountain
Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Something's got to give

[Karla]
I've gotta be sure in the cold light of day
You still want to know me and you just won't walk away

[Paul]
Gimme the word, you know I got to hear it
Girl:Gimme the word, gimme the word, gimme the
Gimme the word, you know I got to hear it
Gimme the green light, tonight

[Karla]
Spell it out, you know I want to-ooh, ooh...

[Paul]
Gimme the word, you know I got to hear it

[Karla]
Gimme the word, gimme the word, gimme the
Gimme the word, you know I got to hear it
Gimme the green light, tonight

[Karla]
Spell it out, you know I want to-ooh, ooh...
