Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit was the United Kingdom entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 in Oslo performed by Australian-born artist Gina G. Perhaps the most contemporary song in the 1996 contest, it is a high-energy Euro-dance track.
In the audio-only qualifying round, the song advanced to the final in third place behind Sweden and Ireland. On the night, the song was performed second following Turkey and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it finished in 8th place with 77 points and 2 sets of top marks from Belgium and Portugal.
The song became the biggest hit of all the 1996 entries, topping the UK chart, #5 in Australia, top 10 in several other European countries and even peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, earning Gina a Grammy nomination in 1997 for Best Dance Recording.
Lyrics[]
You're my love, you're my sweetest thing
Don't shy away, don't shy away
Every night makes me hate the days
Can't get enough of your love
Am I wrong, am I so unkind?
Show me the way, don't turn away
I can't hide all these thoughts in my mind
Every moment I'm just thinkin' of you
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
You know what I'm lookin' for
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
I give you love you can't ignore
Feeling good, let's go all the way
It's got to be, set me free
But tonight let my body say:
Take it slow, don't let it go
How can I prove my love to you?
Baby, please, you're all I need
Like a child, but it's more than a phase
Could act the angel, but it wouldn't be true
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
You know what I'm lookin' for
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
I give you love you can't ignore
What can you do for me?
Oh... what can you do?
'Cause I feel so alive
I feel your love inside
Ooh...
(Just a little bit, little bit more)
(Just a little bit)
(Just a little)
(Just a little bit, little bit more)
(Just a little bit)
(Whoa...)
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
You know what I'm lookin' for
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
I give you love you can't ignore
(Yeah yeah yeah...)
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
You know what I'm lookin' for
(Ooh ah...) just a little bit
(Ooh ah...) a little bit more
Just a little bit
