Put Your Hands Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're wide awake, your heart beats
Sister Mary in her burnin' dress with God in her feet
They take and take, but no more
'Cause now you're gonna show 'em what the night is really for

[Pre-Chorus]
And leave your heart out on the dance floor

[Chorus]
Put your hands up, it's all right
Singin' oh-whoa-oh, until the sun rise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Singin' oh-whoa-oh, and don't you ever fade away, yeah

[Verse 2]
Your life is full of hard days
You try to hold it down, b
ut it's more than you can take
Well, those flashin' lights, well, they shine down
It's hard as hell to try to keep your head in this town
So we're gonna burn the place down

[Chorus]
Put your hands up, it's all right
Singin' oh-whoa-oh, until the sun rise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Singin' oh-whoa-oh, and don't you ever fade away, yeah
Don't you ever fade away, yeah
Until the sunrise
[Bridge]
Singin' oh-whoa-oh
Singin' oh-whoa
Singin' oh-whoa-oh
Singin' oh-whoa
Singin' oh-whoa-oh
Singin' oh-whoa
Singin' oh-whoa-oh
Until the sunrise

[Chorus]
Put your hands up, it's all right
Singin' oh-whoa-oh, until the sun rise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Singin' oh-whoa-oh, and don't you ever fade away, yeah
Don't you ever fade away, yeah
And don't you ever fade away

[Outro]
Now put your hands up
Better put your hands up
Gonna put your hands up

Don't you ever fade away
Gonna put your hands up
Gonna put your hands up
Until the sunrise

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 [?]
