What are you waiting for?
Nobody's gonna show you how
Why work for someone else
To do what you can do right now?
Got no boundaries and no limits
If there's excitement, put me in it
If it's against the law, arrest me
If you can handle it, undress me
Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath
I can go on and on and on
When the lights go down and there's no one left
I can go on and on and on
Give it to me, yeah
No one's gonna show me how
Give it to me, yeah
No one's gonna stop me now
They say that a good thing never lasts
And then it has to fall
Those are the the people that did not
Amount to much at all
Give me the bassline and I'll shake it
Give me a record and I'll break it
There's no beginning and no ending
Give me a chance to go and I'll take it
Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath
I can go on and on and on
When the lights go down and there's no one left
I can go on and on and on
Give it to me, yeah
No one's gonna show me how
Give it to me, yeah
No one's gonna stop me now

This is the second single from Hard Candy. It's a very catchy and uptempo
track that was produced by The Neptunes and has a great anthemic vibe. Pharrell
backs up Madonna with some vocals and together they do a hilarious breakdown in the middle of the song.
Even before it was promoted as a single, it gathered enough digital downloads during the week of the release of the album that it managed to debut at #8 in Canada, #57 in USA and #73 in UK. Radio stations started playing it early June and a physical single is going to be released on July 14th in the UK (11th in other European countries). Give It 2 Me is currently in the UK Top 40, her 66th Top 40 single in that country. Remixes of the single were made by Paul Oakenfold, Eddie Amador, Jody Den Broeder and Fedde le Grand.
