It's hard not to hear Brenton Wood's biggest hit, "Gimme Little Sign," and not be convinced that it very well might be the greatest single ever cut. It relies on no one thing -- the song is slinky, surprising, and seductive, blessed with a perfect production (the organ break in the middle is positively, eerily beautiful) and a wonderful, understated performance by Wood, who proves with his smooth, sure-handed delivery that he is one of the finest soul singers of his generation. – All Music
LYRICS
I think you got your fools mixed up
You must think I'm somebody else
I'm not the same fool you know
That couldn't help himself
And followed you around like a dog
Strung on a chain
And wagged his cute little tail
Whenever you called his name
But baby, that will be no more
Remember when you walked out that door
I was on my knees, I said, "Now baby, please"
You just looked at me and said, "No score"
And then you said
It's no joke and maybe one day you'll be back again
But baby, I got lucky again
I made myself a million tens
And another thing I want to say
I found myself another friend, woo, hoo
I think you got your fools mixed up
You must think I'm somebody else
I think you got your fools mixed up
You must think I'm somebody else
I think you got your fools mixed up
You must think I'm somebody else
