Give It to Me Lyrics

[Intro: Timbaland]
Is it goin'? Is it goin'?
Is it goin'? Is it going?
I don't know what you're lookin' for
Oh, yeah, boy, come on

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]
I'm the type of girl that look you dead in the eye, eye
I'm real as it comes, if you don't know why I'm fly

I seen you to try switch it up, but girl, you ain't that dope
I'm the Wonder Woman, let me go get my rope
I'm a supermodel and mommy — sí, mami
Amnesty International, got Bangkok to Montauk on lock
Love my ass and my abs in the video for "Promiscuous"
My style is ri-dic-dic-diculous-ulous-ulous

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
If you see us in the club, we'll be actin' real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)
Wanna see you work your body (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)

[Verse 2: Timbaland]
When Timbo' is in the party, everybody put up they hands
I get a half a mil' for my beats, you get a couple grand
Never gon' see the day that I ain't got the upper hand
I'm respected from Californ-I-A way down to Japan
I'm a real producer, and you just a piano man
Your songs don't top the charts — I heard 'em, I'm not a fan
Niggas talkin' greasy, I'm the one that gave them they chance
Somebody need to tell 'em that they can't do it like I can

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
If you see us in the club, we'll be actin' real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)
Wanna see you work your body (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)

[Verse 3: Justin Timberlake]
Could you speak up and stop mu-mumbling? I don't think you came in clear
When you're sittin' on the top, it's hard to hear you from way up here
Now I saw you tryna act cute on TV,
"Just let me clear the air..."
We missed you on the charts last week — damn, that's right, you wasn't there
Now, if s-sexy never left, then why is everybody on my shit?
Don't hate on me just because you didn't come up with it

So if you see us in the club, go on and walk the other way
'Cause our run will never be over — not, at least, until we say (Uh)

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
If you see us in the club, we'll be actin' real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)
Wanna see you work your body (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)

[Break: Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake]
Oh... (Damn, improve)
Oh... (Damn, improve)
Oh... (Damn, improve)
Oh... (Damn, improve)
Oh... (Damn, improve)
Oh... (Damn, improve)
Oh... (Damn, improve)
Oh... (Damn, improve)
[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
If you see us in the club, we'll be actin' real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)
Wanna see you work your body (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)
If you see us in the club, we'll be actin' real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)
Wanna see you work your body (So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

There were a number of controversies at the time of “Give It To Me”’s release involving Timberlake, Timbaland and Nelly Furtado. Producer Scott Storch accused Justin & Timbaland of not crediting him for Justin’s hugely popular song “Cry Me A River,” the Nipplegate controversy involving Timberlake and Janet Jackson, Prince’s 2006 comments about Timberlake, and perceived tension between Fergie & Furtado all had people wondering who this song was about.
