Hold Up Your Hand
Embrace Love's Promise: Hold Up Your Hand by Larry Graham
Lyrics
You said you really love me
You expressed genuine love towards me
With all your heart and soul
With complete devotion and sincerity
You said you might go crazy
You conveyed that you might feel overwhelmed emotionally
If I ever go
If I were to leave
I love the things you tell me
I appreciate the sweet things you say
And if they're really true
Assuming they are true, I value your honesty
Let me tell you, darlin'
Now, my dear, listen carefully
Tell you what you got to do
I'll tell you what you need to do
If you love me
If your love is genuine
Like you say you do
As you claim it to be
Then hold up your hand
Show it by raising your hand
Baby, I'll understand
And I will comprehend
If you love me
If your love is true
Like you say you do
Just as you assert
Then hold up your hand
Lift your hand to signify
Baby, I'll understand
I'll understand, baby
You said you really need me
You communicated a deep need for me
More than flowers need the sun
Comparable to how flowers need the sun
And there's nobody else
Emphasizing exclusivity, there's no one else
Because I'm the only one
I'm the sole recipient of your love
You need me еvery morning
You require me every morning
You say you need me evеry night
And every night, you express the same need
And if anything is ever wrong
You assure that you can rectify any wrongdoing
You say you can make it right
Claiming the ability to make things right
If you need me
If you truly need me
Like you say you do
Just as you profess
Then hold up your hand
Prove it by holding up your hand
Baby, I'll understand
I'll understand, baby
If you love me
If your love is sincere
Like you say you do
As you declare it to be
Then hold up your hand
Raise your hand as a sign
And woman, I'll understand
I'll understand, woman
Now, if you want me
If you desire me
Like you say you do
In the way you state
Then hold up your hand
Confirm it by lifting your hand
And woman, I'll understand
I'll understand, woman
I said if you need me, girl
If you need me, girl
Like you say you do
Just as you express
Then hold up your hand
Show it by holding up your hand
Baby, I'll understand
I'll understand, baby
If you love me
If your love is genuine
Like you say you do
As you claim it to be
Then hold up your hand
Lift your hand to signify
Baby, I'll understand
I'll understand, baby
Said if you want me, girl
If you want me, girl
