Positive vibes and letting loose are some of the many things Michaels loves to sing about – and “Hands Up” is no exception. What anyone else thinks doesn’t matter, just have yourself a good time! The song actually delivers a very similar message to Let Them Stare, a TV track 2 years prior.
[Intro]
(One, and two, and three, and four)
Hands up, here we go
We're gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go
We're gonna have a good time
So let's roll
[Verse 1]
Works out, thank gosh it's Friday
Day off, doin' things my own way
My boss left me a little strong
Not cool for this week and I'm havin' fun
[Pre-Chorus]
I care if they stare
(I'm gonna let my hair down)
Do it if I dare
(I'm gonna tear the house down)
[Chorus]
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Ow
[Verse 2]
Put on my favourite high-heels
Lookin' good - this is how hot feels
Out the door and all the guys saw day
Do a double-take 'cause they know what's up
[Pre-Chorus]
I care if they stare
(I'm gonna let my hair down)
Do it if I dare
(I'm gonna tear the house down)
[Chorus]
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
[Bridge]
Hands up, everybody say it out loud
Hands up, everybody shout it out now
Hands up, everybody putcha hands up, hands up
Putcha hands up tonight, oh woah
Woah (yeah, yeah)
Woah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, ah oh
[Chorus]
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
Hands up, here we go, everybody lose control
Getcha, getcha, feel alright, gonna have a good time
