Raise Your Hand
(Eddie Floyd, Stephen Lee Cropper, Alvertis Isabell)
If there's somethin' you need
Hon that you've never, ever, ever had
I know you've never had it
Oh, honey, don't you just sit there cryin'
Don't just sit there feelin' bad
No, no, no
You'd better get up
Now, don't you understand?
And raise you hand
Hey, hey, hey
I said, raise your hand
You know I'm standin' about, yes I am
Want to give you all my love, oh, I do
Oh, honey, won't you come on and open up
I said, open up in your heart
Please won't you let me try?
Yeah!!
Got to be good
Don't ya understand?
Raise your hand
Hey, hey, hey
I said, raise your hand
Right here, right now, babe!
Whoaaaah, yeah!
Whoaaaah!!
Raise your hand
Raise your hand
Raise your hand
Raise your hand
Raise
Gonna raise
Gonna raise
Gonna raise
Said, raise your hand, come on!
Raise your hand, feel it!
Raise your hand, I gotta have it!
Raise your hand
Raise your hand, yeah!
Raise your hand, yeah!
Raise it up, on up to me
Come on, raise it up, on up to me
Oh, raise it up, on up to me, yeah!
Yeah!
