HANDS
King Tuff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hands
Falling all around me
Hands
Falling all around me
I try to put my speakers on but they won't let me be
Hands
Touching up on me
Hands
Touching up on me
I try to grab the microphone but I just can't get free
So clap your hands
Clap your hands

Hands
Struck me like a summer breeze
Hands
Struck me like a summer breeze
Fingers are pullin' lips saying tastes so sweet
So clap your hands
Clap your hands

Always getting into another mess
Always getting into another dress
Sweat to control these hands
Hands
Falling all around me
Hands
Falling all around me
Please please please don't ever set me free
I said please, please please don't ever set me free




I said please, please please don't ever set me free
These hands are awesome baby
