Lyrics

Alright, this is a tune called raise your hand. let's go, come on!

One, two — one, two, three!

If there's somethin' you need
Hon, that you've never, ever, ever had
I know you've never had it
Oh, honey, don't you just sit there cryin'
Don't just sit there feelin' bad
No, no, no

You'd better get up
Now do you understand ?
And raise you hand
Hey, hey, hey
I said raise your hand

You know I'm standin' around, yes I am
Want to give you all my love
Oh, honey, won't you come on and open up
I said, open up in your heart
Please won't you let me try ?

You got to be good
Don't ya understand ?
Raise your hand
Hey, hey, hey
I said, raise your hand right here
Right here, right now, yeah!

Whoaaaaah, oh yeah!!

If there's somethin' that you want, dear
Honey, why won't you come and tell me so ?
I said honey
An' if you ever feel, whoa, that you just might need my lovin'
Honey, all I just want you to do is just let go

Got to be good
Don't ya understand
Raise your hand
Hey, hey, hey!
I said, raise your hand
Raise, raise, raise, raise
Honey ..
Ha, ha, ha
Honey ..
Whoa ... whoaaa ... whoaaa
Said-a, whoaaa ..
Alright!

Honey, raise your hand
'Cause I want you to come along
Raise your hand
'Cause you know where you belong
You belong here, now
Said here and now
Said, here and now
Honey, here and now
Here and now
Honey, here, now
Honey, here, now
Honey, here
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Raise your hand
Raise your hand
Raise your hand
Raise your hand
Raise your hand
Raise your hand

Hey, hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up now!
