“Hands to Myself”
By Selena Gomez
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
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, I'm trying
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm 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
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
(Chorus)
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)
