Cant Keep My Hands Off You
Simple Plan feat. Rivers Cuomo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My Fender Strat sits all alone
Collecting dust in the corner
I haven't called any of my friends
I've been MIA since last December
My blackberry's filled up with E-mail
My phone calls goes straight through to voice mail
We're stuck like two pieces of Velcro
At the park, in the back of my car
It doesn't matter what I do,
No, I can't keep my hands off you
(can't keep my, can't keep my)
Can't keep my hands off you
(can't keep my, can't keep my)
There's fungus growing in the icebox
All I got left are Fruit Roll-Ups
My clothes are six months old
But I don't care, no no no I don't notice
My bills pile is so high, it is shocking
The repo man just keeps on knocking
'cause on the street, or under the covers
We're stuck like two pieces of Velcro
At the park, in the back of my car
It doesn't matter what I do,
No, I can't keep my hands off you
(can't keep my, can't keep my)
Can't keep my hands off you
(can't keep my, can't keep my)
Can't keep my hands off you
Sorry to all my friends and to anyone I offend
But i can't help, no i can't help it
Can't keep my, can't keep my (can't keep my hands off you)
Can't keep my, can't keep my (can't keep my hands off you)
Can't keep my, can't keep my (can't keep my hands off you)
Can't keep my, can't keep my (can't keep my hands off you)
'cause on the street, or under the covers
We're stuck like two pieces of Velcro
At the park, in the back of my car
It don't matter what I do,
No, I can't keep my hands off you
(can't keep my, can't keep my)
Can't keep my hands off you
(can't keep my, can't keep my)
Can't keep my hands off you
The song "Can't Keep My Hands Off You" by Simple Plan featuring Rivers Cuomo is about a person who is completely and totally infatuated with their significant other, to the point where everything else in their life falls by the wayside. The beginning of the song describes the neglect of the guitar, phone, and friends, which are all things that would usually hold importance in someone's life. However, the obsession with this person overrides everything else, and they cannot keep their hands off of them. The chorus repeats this sentiment, highlighting the fact that no matter where they are, it is impossible to ignore the magnetic pull between them.
The second verse goes on to describe things continuing to fall apart in the singer's life, such as a pile of unpaid bills and a car that is about to be taken away. Despite this, they cannot concentrate on anything other than the person they are in love with. The bridge apologizes to anyone who has been affected by the singer's neglectful behavior, but explains that they cannot help themselves when it comes to this person.
Overall, the song emphasizes the all-consuming feeling of being unable to resist someone and how it can blind you to everything else in your life.

Oh oh oh let’s go
My Fender Strat sits all alone
Collecting dust in the corner
I haven’t called any of my friends
I’ve been MIA since last December
My blackberry’s filled up with E-mail
My phone calls goes straight through to voice mail
'Cause on the street, or under the covers
We're stuck like two pieces of Velcro
At the park, in the back of my car
It don’t matter what I do,
No, I can’t keep my hands off you
(can’t keep my, can’t keep my)
Can’t keep my hands off you
(can’t keep my, can’t keep my)
There’s fungus growing in the icebox
All I got left are Fruit Roll-Ups
My clothes are six months old
But I don’t care, no, no, no, I don’t notice
My bills pile is so high, it is shocking
The repo man just keeps on knocking
'Cause on the street, or under the covers
We're stuck like two pieces of Velcro

Simple Plan are one of the few bands that over the years, have never lost their touch to produce great music! Have listened to them since releasing their first album in 2002 and 10 years later, they're still just as good! Great to grow up with them! :-D
