Hands Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Putting my hands up and following you
I know what I've done to you, I promise you
[Chorus]
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to one another
Put your hands up
[Verse 2]
I'm feeling the changes
I know it's just like me to say
I wanna make sense of it all
We could handle anything when we were young
[Chorus]
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to one another
Put your hands up
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to each other
I've got my hands up
Putting my hands up and following you
I know what I've done to you, I promise you
[Chorus]
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to one another
Put your hands up
[Verse 2]
I'm feeling the changes
I know it's just like me to say
I wanna make sense of it all
We could handle anything when we were young
[Chorus]
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to one another
Put your hands up
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to each other
I've got my hands up
[Verse 3]
Right here describes you
I'm hearing your sighs sneaking out
And I wanted to tell you what you wanted to hear
But you told me to let it all out, dear
[Chorus]
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to each other
I've got my hands up
Right here describes you
I'm hearing your sighs sneaking out
And I wanted to tell you what you wanted to hear
But you told me to let it all out, dear
[Chorus]
Put your hands on your lover
I've got my hands up
Mean no harm to each other
I've got my hands up
About
Genius Annotation
“Hands” is a song about forgiveness in a relationship.
Here is a quote from Sharon’s banter during her MicroShow for The Current at the Warming House in Minneapolis on Feb. 17, 2019:
I wrote this song after I got in a fight with my partner. It was like domestic stuff, like, “You didn’t fold the laundry!”, or something, you know, and a song about forgiveness, like, “Let’s not be mad about the stupid stuff.”
