Hands Up
Ottawan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hands up, baby, hands up,
Gimme your heart, gimme, gimme your heart
Gimme gimme
Hands up, baby, hands up,
Gimme your heart, gimme, gimme
All your love,
All your love.
Angel face, I love your smile,
Love your ways, I like your style.
What can I do to get closer to you?
Don't think twice or count to ten.
Don't take advice, don't ask me when.
Just come my way, simply kiss me and say:

Hands up, baby, hands up, ...
With your head up in the sky,
Every day you're walkin' by,
Why don't you have the stars looking at me?

Stop that game, don't waste your time,
For all your dreams are matchin' mine,
No use to play hide n seek for a week.

Hands up, baby, hands up,...
Let me be your Romeo, your wonder boy,
And your super champ.
Let me take you to the milky way
On a holiday, (on a holiday)
Follow me (follow me)
why don't you follow me (why don&'t you follow me)?
Just come my way simply kiss me and say:





Hands up, baby, hands up, ...

when my little sister was born, this was the song we sang with her while doing actions. Thinking of her after she passed away on Friday, this brings back happy memoires.

This song came in to my head today from absolutely no where, it was more than 30 years since I heard it last and it is forever linked to my late step father and my childhood.

I use to dance this with my class in 2nd grade. The age of seven was probably the happiest year of my life. I loved my teacher Ms. Barlow. Im 25 now, and Im glad I will probably remember this song for a long time. And always remember my childhood.
