(One, two, three!)

If there's something you need
Yeah, that you just don't have
Well don't ah-just sit there
Feeling bad
Come on now get up
Try and understand
Just raise your hand

Bring it up now!
Ah baby here I am (baby here I am)
You know I'm standing in line (you know I'm standing in line)
I want to give you my love (I want to give you my love)
Please let me try (please let me try)
Yeah, come on now get up
Try and understand
Just raise your hand

Are we ready?
Let's take it to the bridge!
Ah one, two, three, four!

Just raise your hand
And I'll understand
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Ah baby here I am (baby here I am)
You know I'm standing in line (you know I'm standing in line)
I wanna give you my love (I want to give you my love)
Please let me try (please let me try)
Yeah, come on now get up
Try and understand
Just raise your hand
