Hands All Over
Maroon 5 Lyrics

Put your hands all over
Expresses a desire for physical affection

Put your hands all over me
Asks for the listener to touch the singer in a sensual way

I can't seem to find
The singer is experiencing difficulty in a search

A pretty little face I left behind
The singer is looking for a person they have lost

Wandered out on the open road
The lost person has gone somewhere outside and distant

Looking for a better place to call home
The lost person desires a better home than the previous one

Gave her a place to stay
The singer did a kind gesture of providing shelter for the lost person

And she got up and ran away
The lost person betrayed the singer by leaving

And now I've had enough
The singer has reached a limit to their patience

A pretty little face has torn me up
The betrayal from the lost person has deeply affected the singer

Please talk to me, talk to me
The singer wants communication from the listener

Tell me everything, is gonna be alright
The singer seeks assurance that everything will be okay

Please walk with me, walk with me now
The singer wants company from the listener

Love is a game you say, play me and put me away
The singer is addressing the lost person, who has treated love like a game

Now you've lost your mind
The lost person is acting irrational and crazy

And now you're getting rough
The lost person is being aggressive

But everybody knows you're not that tough
The singer believes the lost person is not actually tough

You're scared to death of the road ahead
The singer thinks the lost person is afraid of the future

Pretty little thing don't get upset
The singer is trying to comfort the lost person

So come down off your cloud
The singer wants the lost person to be more grounded and realistic

Say it now and say it loud
The singer wants clear and confident communication from the lost person

Get up in my face
The singer wants the lost person to confront them directly

Put your hands all over me
Reiterates the desire for physical intimacy

Gotta talk to me, talk to me (come on now babe)
Urges the lost person to communicate openly and honestly

Gotta walk with me, walk with me
Asks the lost person to support the singer both physically and emotionally

Love is a game you say, play me and put me away
Repeated phrase to emphasize the lost person's tendency to treat love as a game

Put your hands all over
Bookends the song with a final plea for physical touch
