Hands Up
TLC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rollin' to the club
Stop to get my grub on
Nothin' like those krispy kremes
Soon as I was done
It was time to get my groove on
Find a place that's happenin'
And I knew that it was on
From the moment that I walked into the spot
It was bangin'
It was swangin' oh
Till somethin' turned me off
I wasn't sure
Could of swore I saw you with someone
And at much to my surprise (whoa)

[Chorus]
You were right there with your hands up in the air
You had hoochies everywhere
All on you
It's like I almost didn't know you
Tryin' to shake that ass
Playa you don't even dance
Sup wit' you
It's like I don't even know you

Left you at the crib
Cause I know you get your game on
Happens every Tuesday night
You said that you was cool
Your boys was comin' by
(go baby have yourself a real good time)
So I knew I could be wrong

I was thinkin' there's no way it could be you
Not my baby
He ain't crazy no
Then my girlfriends tipped me off
When I got closer I could tell that it was you
You was bangin'
You was swangin' oh

[Chorus: x2]

Mindin' my own business
My pager's goin' off
My girlfriends tryin' to tell me
You're doin' wrong
I needed confirmation
I knew you was a dog
I just can't believe what I saw





[Chorus: x3]

Overall Meaning

The song begins with the description of the singer going to a club to have some fun. She makes a stop on her way to grab some Krispy Kremes and heads over to the club to find a happening place. She walks into the club and instantly feels the beat and vibe of the place. She is ready to groove and then notices something that turns her off. She spots her partner with someone else and realizes that he is not dancing, but just standing there with his hands up in the air with his hoochies around him.


The second verse tells us that the singer left her partner at home as he usually gets his game on every Tuesday night. He had informed her that his boys would be coming over and she should go out and have a good time. The singer reminisces her initial denial of her partner's involvement in any wrongdoing. However, her girlfriends confirm her doubts and present her with the undeniable truth. The final chorus of the song highlights how the singer feels she doesn't know her partner anymore.


This song portrays the theme of trust issues arising in relationships, and how one can feel betrayed by their partner's actions. The catchy beats and lyrics of the song make it a hit among music enthusiasts. The song is often played in discos and nightclubs, making it a favorite with the younger generation. Moreover, the song is a great example of 90s R&B and hip hop music.

So sad this song/video went unnoticed, it was classic TLC. Don't get me wrong, Left Eye was the creative force behind the group and she is sorely missed, but it's like people stopped caring about TLC after she passed, which to me is unfair to T-Boz and Chilli because they were just as important to the group as Lisa. Anyway, love the video, they both look absolutely stunning.

@Aiba271

Amen!!!

@derrbearrr2.076

Absolutely correct! I love my girls! I’m glad that they decided to finish the 3D album as they promised to do for Lisa’s sake. ❀️❀️❀️❀️ We would’ve got a greatest hits instead if it was never finished.

It got 2 Grammy Nominations in 2004. And was in the Top 30 on Billboard.

@MusicLoverPearson

Left Eye wasn't the creative force behind the group that's BS

T-Boz is the most beautiful to me, her raspy tone and Chilli's ad-libs are sublime. This is one of my favorite TLC's songs ever.

@de8lichus

+xxxTIN0xxx this too is one of my faves from them and a lot of people don't even know this song, like WHAT? wow

@ndestructible1659

+DJ TSUNA-MAE I know. I love this album in general. I wish it was more popular.

@moniquebrown1884
