Lyrics

Hands Up

[Verse 1: T-Boz]

Rollin' to the club

Stop to get my grub on

Nothin' like those Krispy Kremes

Soon as I was done

It was time to get my groove on

Find a place that's happenin'

And I knew that it was on

[Pre-Chorus 1: Chilli (T-Boz)]

From the moment that I walked into the spot

It was bangin'

It was swangin' oh

(Till somethin' turned me off)

I wasn't sure

Coulda swore I saw you with someone

And at much to my surprise (whoa)

[Chorus]

You were right there with your hands up in the air

You had hoochies everywhere, all on you

It's like I almost didn't know you

Tryin' to shake that ass

Playa you don't even dance

Sup wit' you

It's like I don't even know you

[Verse 2: T-Boz]

Left you at the crib

Cause I know you get your game on

Happens every Tuesday night

You said that you was cool

Your boys was comin' by

(Go baby have yourself a real good time)

So I knew I could be wrong

[Pre-Chorus 2: Chilli (T-Boz)]

I was thinkin' there's no way it could be you

Not my baby

He ain't crazy no

(Then my girlfriends tipped me off)

When I got closer I could tell that it was you

You was bangin'

You was swangin' oh

[Chorus]

You were right there with your hands up in the air

You had hoochies everywhere, all on you

It's like I almost didn't know you

Tryin' to shake that ass

Playa you don't even dance

Sup wit' you

It's like I don't even know you

[Chorus]

You were right there with your hands up in the air

You had hoochies everywhere, all on you

It's like I almost didn't know you

Tryin' to shake that ass

Playa you don't even dance

Sup wit' you

It's like I don't even know you

[Bridge: Chilli]

Mindin' my own business

My pager's goin' off

My girlfriends tryin' to tell me

You're doin' wrong

I needed confirmation

I knew you was a dog

I just can't believe what I saw

[Chorus]

You were right there with your hands up in the air

You had hoochies everywhere, all on you

It's like I almost didn't know you

Tryin' to shake that ass

Playa you don't even dance

Sup wit' you

It's like I don't even know you

[Chorus]

You were right there with your hands up in the air

You had hoochies everywhere, all on you

It's like I almost didn't know you

Tryin' to shake that ass

Playa you don't even dance

Sup wit' you

It's like I don't even know you

[Chorus]

You were right there with your hands up in the air

You had hoochies everywhere, all on you

It's like I almost didn't know you

Tryin' to shake that ass

Playa you don't even dance

Sup wit' you

It's like I don't even know you
