Track three of Revival, “Hands to Myself,” is a celebration of love overcoming inhibition. As is consistent throughout the album, “Hands to Myself” introduces a newfound sultry side of Selena, perpetuating the idea that 2015 was the year teen pop grew up.
“Hands To Myself” is my favorite. It’s actu...
[Verse 1]
Can't keep my hands to myself
No matter how hard I'm trying to
I want you all to myself
You're metaphorical gin and juice
So come on give me a taste
Of what it’s like to be next to you
Won't let one drop go to waste
You're metaphorical gin and juice
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause all of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, but I
[Chorus]
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
[Verse 2]
The doctors say you're no good
But people say what they wanna say
And you should know if I could
I'd breathe you in every single day
[Pre-Chorus]
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, but I
[Chorus]
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
[Bridge]
Can't keep my hands to myself
I want it all, no, nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
Give me your all and nothing else
Oh, I, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
Can't keep my hands to myself
I mean I could, but why would I want to?
[Chorus]
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
I want it all, no, nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
Give me your all and nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself

When asked about what’s been called one of the best pop lyrics and its alleged improvisation, co-writer Julia Michaels had this to say in an interview with BBC:
I tend to do a lot of things spontaneously, just singing into the mic. So I was doing the bridge – ‘can’t keep my hands to myself’ – and w...
According to Songfacts, Gomez declared:
The songwriters Julia and Justin pushed me to try new things lyrically, stylistically, vocally – the biggest change is my voice. It’s this sort of coy, whisper falsetto over a stripped-down beat that you’re not sure what to do with at first.
