The Hand Lyrics
I get a rise
Out of people who come
In walking sideways
I have to ask 'em nicely
What do I get from the hand?
If an empty platter is there
(Throw out your non-reaction)
Smile and tease
Then laugh in my face
Subtlety for two
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
So now you taken all thats mine
Is there anything for you?
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
I realize
Your position is phoney
Why you trying to get me
Is something wrong With my way
Offer up the world to me
Only empty platter is there
All this love came out a walking
Although black and blue
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
Cause Ive been taken for a ride
But now its coming back to you
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
Smile and tease
Then laugh in my face
Subtlety for two
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
All this love came out a walking
Although black and blue
say you want a little
say you want a little
What do I get from the hand
If and empty platter is there?
Out of people who come
In walking sideways
I have to ask 'em nicely
What do I get from the hand?
If an empty platter is there
Then laugh in my face
Subtlety for two
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
So now you taken all thats mine
Is there anything for you?
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
Your position is phoney
Why you trying to get me
Is something wrong With my way
Offer up the world to me
Only empty platter is there
Although black and blue
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
Cause Ive been taken for a ride
But now its coming back to you
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
Then laugh in my face
Subtlety for two
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
All this love came out a walking
Although black and blue
say you want a little
say you want a little
If and empty platter is there?

Lyrics are wrong. Corrected lyrics as follows, from the book:
I get a rise out of people who come in walkin' sideways I have to ask 'em nicely What do I get from the hand With an empty platter, exactly?
Proactive, not reactive
Smiling teeth in a laughing mouth is Subtlety for two Say you want a little Say you want a little
'Cause now you think the world is mine But is there anything for you? Say you want a little Say you want a little
I realize your position is phony While you try to guide me There's something wrong with my way Offer up the world to me On an empty platter, exactly.
Proactive, not reactive
All this muck and more walking All the black and blue Say you want a little Say you want a little
'Cause I've been taken for a ride and now it's Comin' back to you. Say you want a little say you want a little
Proactive, not reactive.
Smiling teeth in a laughing mouth is Subtlety for two Say you want a little Say you want a little
All this muck and mire walking All the black and blue Say you want a little Say you want a little
What do I get from the hand With an empty platter, exactly?
