Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hands up, here we go
We're gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go
We're gonna have a good time
So let's roll
Day off, doin' things my own way
My boss left me a little strong
Not cool for this week and I'm havin' fun
I care if they stare
(I'm gonna let my hair down)
Do it if I dare
(I'm gonna tear the house down)
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Ow!
Put on my favourite high-heels
Lookin' good - this is how hot feels
Out the door and all the guys saw day
Do a double-take 'cause they know what's up
I care if they stare
(I'm gonna let my hair down)
Do it if I dare
(I'm gonna tear the house down)
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, everybody say it out loud
Hands up, everybody shout it out now

Putcha hands up tonight, oh woah

I'm jealous, I'm overzealous
When I'm down, I get real down
When I'm high, I don't come down
I get angry, baby, believe me
I could love you just like that
And I could leave you just as fast
But you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
No, you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
'Cause I got issues
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em
Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you
You do shit on purpose
You get mad and you break things
Feel bad, try to fix things
But you're perfect
Poorly wired circuit
And got hands like an ocean
Push you out, pull you back in
'Cause you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
No, you don't judge me
'Cause you see it from the same point of view
'Cause I got issues
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em
Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you
(I got issues, you got 'em too)
And one of them is how bad I need you
(I got issues, you got 'em too)
'Cause I got issues
(I got)
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
(You got 'em too)
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
(I got issues)
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
(You got 'em too)
It takes to solve 'em
Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got issues)
And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you
