With these Hands
Tom Jones (Karaoke) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you ever felt that you weren't responsible for the things that you do?
When the girl that you are with is just too much
She is so out of sight, baby, that all you can say is:
Well, all right!
I'm not responsible, not responsible
For anything I do when I'm with you
To be so very near and not feel part of you
You've got such a hold on me
You make it seem so easy, but it's true, oh yeah
I get such a happy feeling
Knowing that you feel the same way too
Whoa..oa, baby, all right
I'm not responsible, not responsible
When you can make a man do what you want him to
I'm not responsible, it's impossible
To be so very near and not know what to do
You got such a hold on me
You make it seem so easy but it's true, oh yeah
I get such a happy feeling
Knowing that you feel the same way too
I get such a happy feeling
Knowing that you feel the same way too
Believe me baby, etc....
The lyrics to Tom Jones & Engelbert Humperdinck's song "Not Responsible" suggest the idea of losing control when being near someone you are deeply attracted to. The singer admits to not feeling responsible for his actions when he is with a woman who is out of sight and has a hold on him. He suggests that the woman has a power over him, which makes it seem easy to be around her, and he cannot control himself when he is with her. He doesn't seem to care about the outcome of his actions as long as he is close to her.
The song seems to be about the feeling of being completely overcome by another person and losing autonomy over one's behavior, which is a common experience in relationships. It also highlights the idea of being fully present in the moment and not worrying about the consequences of one's actions when it comes to love and desire.
Overall, the song taps into the idea of being consumed by love, the thrilling feeling of surrendering to someone's power, and all the risks and rewards that come with passionate attraction.

Now let me ask you something:
Let me pose a question to you
Have you ever felt that you weren't responsible for the things that you do?
Have you ever felt that you weren't in control of your actions?
When the girl that you are with is just too much
When the girl you're with is overwhelming
She is so out of sight, baby, that all you can say is:
She's so amazing that you can't find the words to describe her
Well, all right!
You're okay with it, no problem
I'm not responsible, not responsible
I can't be held accountable
For anything I do when I'm with you
For my actions when I'm with you
I'm not responsible, it's impossible
I can't help but feel as I do
To be so very near and not feel part of you
To be close to you and not feel connected
You've got such a hold on me
You have a powerful influence over me
You make it seem so easy, but it's true, oh yeah
You make it effortless, but it's genuine
I get such a happy feeling
I feel ecstatic
Knowing that you feel the same way too
Because you feel the same, it's satisfying
Whoa..oa, baby, all right
Wow, baby, it's all good
When you can make a man do what you want him to
When you have the ability to control a man
To be so very near and not know what to do
To be close to someone and not know how to respond
Believe me baby, etc....
Trust me, baby, and so forth...

With these hands
I will cling to you
I'm yours forever
And a day
With these hands
I will bring to you
A tender love
As warm as May
With this heart
I will sing to you
Long after stars
Have lost their glow
And
With these hands
I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you
And I'll never
Oh no I'll never
I'll never let you go
With these hands
I will sing to you
Long after stars
Have lost their glow
And
With these hands
I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you
Oh and I'll never
No I'll never
Let you go
