Hands to Myself
Gomez Selena 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
In the song "Hands To Myself," Selena Gomez sings about her desire for someone that she cannot resist physically. From the opening lines, she confesses the struggle to keep her hands to herself, despite trying hard to restrain herself. The metaphorical gin and juice signifies this irresistible attraction. She craves to be able to experience what it feels like to be close to this person and savors every moment of it. Selena's frustration with the situation is amplified in the chorus as she expresses her desire to have it all and is unwilling to settle for less.
The bridge of the song highlights the singer's defiance in the face of opposition from people who advise her not to pursue the relationship. Reasoning that she knows what she wants and isn't afraid to take risks, she insists that if it were up to her, she'd breathe in every single day with this individual. The chorus repeats as Selena acknowledges her struggle with restraining herself and admits that she wants it all and nothing else.
