Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhhh
We won't be young for long
Tomorrow might be gone
Why are wasting all this time with wordsWhen you know me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhhh
Oh, oh, ohh
Baby, this depends on you
You know what I've been through
I can't be wasting all my time with words
When you know me
Now I'm not asking you for much (Whoa)
But what I need baby,
Is just please come lay back down
All your power's in your touch (Whoa)
So... Put your hands on me!
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh
I'm gonna be upon my knees
Begging you, oh please
Still, you won't give me what I need
Oh baby, you know me
I'm not asking you for much (Whoa)But what I need baby,
Is just please come lay back down
All your power's in your touch (Whoa)
Put your hands on me!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Put your hands on me!
Ooh, come on!
*Breakdown*
So honey, please just come lay down
To places you can choose
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
'Cause somewhere deep inside
I know you need it too
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, oh
I wanna see who you are
Sometimes we go too far
What your fingertips kiss
It's leaving so much to miss
And I know, that you're cold
And you know, that this is old
But I've been by myself too long
To know what's wrong
Or if we'll make it!
Ohhh, I'm not asking you for much (Whoa)
But what I need baby,
Is just please come lay back down
All your power's in your touch (Whoa)
Put your hands on me!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Put your hands on me!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Put your hands on me!
Now I'm asking please!
I know the answer's no
Do what you feel
But let me feel what you do!
Now I'm asking please!
I know the answer's no
Do what you feel
But let me feel what you do!
Touching my skin
Touching my skin
Touching my skin
Touching my skin
Touching my skin
Touching my skin
Touching my skin...
The song "Put Your Hands on Me" by Greek Fire is a passionate plea from the singer to their lover. They lament the fleeting nature of youth, reminding their partner that tomorrow is not promised. Instead of wasting time with words, they urge their partner to put their hands on them and allow the power of touch to communicate what they cannot articulate with mere language. The singer acknowledges that they have been through a lot, and they need their lover to show them attention and affection. They'll even beg on their knees, but their partner still won't give them what they need. Despite this, the singer doesn't want to give up just yet. They want their partner to come lay back down and touch them. They believe that somewhere deep inside, their partner needs that physical connection too.
The breakdown in the middle of the song provides a moment of reflection. The singer wants to see who their partner really is and believes that they may have gone too far in the past. They appreciate the beauty in the small things, such as the way their lover's fingertips kiss their skin. However, they also recognize that things haven't been good lately, and there's a distinct chill in the air. They may not know what's wrong, but they know they've been alone for too long and want to make it work with their partner. The song ends as they plead with their lover once more, asking them to let them feel what they do.

a few months ago I found an animation, it was called "gilded guy vs bog" it was an amazing animation but it was overshadowed by the amazing music featured in it.... it took me a while but I eventually found this little band called Greek Fire, never regretted finding them
