Put Your Hands Up

[Chorus]
I said, "Get your hands off me"
He said, "Put your hands up high"
I said, "Get your hands off me"
He said, "Put your hands up"
He said, "Step back, back down"
He stood there, I sat down
"Get your hands off me"
"Put your hands up"

[Verse 1]
Officer, this is just another
Misunderstanding, understanding
I'll offer anything you need to arrest
The man who planned it, who planned it
I'll speak candidly, anything that you need
To make you understand this
This is just a mistake, take a deep breath
Before this gets out of hand

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta take the handcuffs off
You got the, got the wrong man
He's six-foot-two in all black
I swear he planned this, he planned this

[Chorus]
I said, "Get your hands off me"
He said, "Put your hands up high"
I said, "Get your hands off me"
He said, "Put your hands up"
He said, "Step back, back down"
He stood there, I sat down
"Get your hands off me"
"Put your hands up"

[Verse 2]
Officer, let me warn you
Before you interrogate me in a basement
With a lie detector test under the stress
Of berating while you're waiting
For me to confess
Well, it'd just be suppressed
If you don't call me a lawyer
You got my prints on the gun
And found me on the run
But I swear I'm innocent

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta take the handcuffs off
You got the, got the wrong man
He's six-foot-two in all black
I swear he planned this, he planned this

[Chorus]
I said, "Get your hands off me"
He said, "Put your hands up high"
I said, "Get your hands off me"
He said, "Put your hands up"
He said, "Step back, back down"
He stood there, I sat down
"Get your hands off me"
"Put your hands up"

[Outro]
Up, up, up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up
Put your hands up, up
Up, up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up
Put your hands up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
