Put your hands together, put your hands together
Put your hands together, put your hands together
Put your hands together, put your hands together
Put your hands together, come on, y'all, clap your hands
You know, yeah
Put your hands together, come on
Sing it
Trouble, baby
Can't do nothin', no, darlin'
Can't feel, can't feel nothin'
Can't feel, can't feel nothin'
Can't feel, can't feel nothin'
Come on, come on
See, trouble with me
Can't do nothin' without my baby
Plain, plain as can be
This gal's gonna drive me crazy
See, trouble with me
Can't do nothin', can't feel nothin'
And it's plain, plain as can be
Girl, you're gonna drive me crazy
Come on, y'all
Music!
Put your hands

Put your hands together
Come on, sing
Trouble with me

Together, put your hands together
Put your hands together, put your hands together
Put your hands, put your hands
Put your hands, put your hands
Put your hands, put your hands
Put your hands together
(I want you to move, now)
Sing it now, I see you, I see you
See you, trouble with me
Can't do nothin', can't do nothin'
And it's plain, plain as can be
Oh, this girl's gonna drive me crazy
See, the trouble with me
Can't hear nothin', can't see nothin'
And it's plain, plain as can be
This girl's gonna drive me crazy
Now, whoo
Thank you
