Original Eddie Floyd version
If there's something you need
That you never had
Then don't just sit there
Feeling bad
You better get up
'Cause understand
Just raise your hand
Oh yeah
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 wanna give you my love)
Please let me try (please let me try)
I wanna be good
Can't you understand
Just raise your hand
(Raise your hand)
Oh yeah!
(Raise your hand)
(Just raise your hand)
(Raise your hand)
Raise it up high, god
(Raise your hand)
Just raise your hand
'Cause I'll understand
Holy, holy, holy
Baby here I am
You know I'm standing in line
I wanna give you my love, hmm
Please let me try
You better get up
'Cause I understand
(Just raise your hand)
(Raise your hand, raise your hand) oh yeah
(Just raise your hand)
(Raise your hand, raise your hand) raise it up high, god
(Just raise your hand)
(Raise your hand, raise your hand) oh yeah
(Just raise your hand)
(Raise your hand, raise your hand) raise it up high
(Just raise your hand)
(Raise your hand, raise your hand) oh yeah
(Just raise your hand)
(Raise your hand, raise your hand) raise it up high, baby
