Hands to Myself
Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter how hard I'm trying to
I want you all to myself
You're metaphorical gin and juice
So come on, give me a taste
Of what it's like to be next to you
Won't let one drop go to waste
You're metaphorical gin and juice
Oh
'Cause all of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, trying, but I
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
The doctors say you're no good
But people say what they wanna say
And you should know if I could
I'd breathe you in every single day
Oh
'Cause all of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, but I
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
I want it all, no, nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
Give me your all and nothing else
Oh, I, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
Can't keep my hands to myself
I mean I could, but why would I want to?
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself (can't keep)
Can't keep my hands to myself
I want it all, no, nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
Give me your all and nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
The song "Hands To Myself" by Selena Gomez is about being tempted by someone and wanting to be close to them. The lyrics suggest that the person's physical attraction to the other person is stronger than their willpower to resist, no matter how hard they try to stay away. Selena compares the person to a metaphorical gin and juice, which is something she can't resist.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Can't keep my hands to myself" which reinforces the theme of temptation and desire. The song describes a situation where Selena is unable to control herself and is drawn to this person despite the advice of others.
The bridge in the song, which states "The doctors say you're no good, but people say what they wanna say", suggests that Selena may be aware of the danger in pursuing this person but is going ahead with it anyway. She acknowledges that everyone has an opinion about the situation but ultimately, it's her decision to make.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hands To Myself" speak to the complexities of attraction and the difficulty in controlling one's desires. It's a catchy, upbeat song with an underlying message that many people can relate to.

Can't keep my hands to myself
I'm having a hard time controlling myself around you
No matter how hard I'm trying to
Even though I am trying my best to keep my hands off of you
I want you all to myself
I desire to have you all to myself
You're metaphorical gin and juice
Being around you is like drinking my favorite drink
So come on, give me a taste
I want to experience what it feels like to be near you
Of what it's like to be next to you
I want to know how it feels to be by your side
Won't let one drop go to waste
I don't want to miss a single moment with you
Oh

'Cause all of the downs and the uppers
Even though we have our ups and downs
Keep making love to each other
Our attraction to each other persists
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying
I'm doing everything I can to resist you
The doctors say you're no good
People say you're not good for me
But people say what they wanna say
I don't care what others say about you and me
And you should know if I could
You should know that if I could be with you, I would
I'd breathe you in every single day
I would enjoy being around you every day
My hands to myself
I am unable to control my desire for you
I want it all, no, nothing else
I want everything with you and nothing else
Give me your all and nothing else
I want you to give me everything you have
I mean I could, but why would I want to?
I have the ability to control myself, but why would I want to when I'm around you?
