Hands Lyrics
Girl you got those hands that heal
Help me get in touch with what I feel
'Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best it's not surprise
When you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say
Girl you got those eyes that see
Help me find the good that's inside me
'Cause you're the only one who really knows
How the feeling comes and why it goes
When you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say
(repeat)
When you listen there's a hope and I know I'm being hurt
When you smile at me and I know and we don't have to speak a word
When you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say
Help me get in touch with what I feel
'Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best it's not surprise
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say
Help me find the good that's inside me
'Cause you're the only one who really knows
How the feeling comes and why it goes
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say
(repeat)
When you smile at me and I know and we don't have to speak a word
When you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say

First of all, who saw the Raconteurs on Conan O'Brien? They belted out this song with amazing raw intensity!!! Way better than the album version! However, the lyrics make me want to vomit... but I'm sure that has to do with my own jadedness and not the song writer's genius. I simply can't imagine such a woman or appreciation of such a woman exists. It is easier to stomach to think that he is speaking of a spirit or God(dess). Again, I love their live preformance and hope they do more jigs in Canada.
@artbeat if a woman sends this song to you, know you’re being manipulated. She wants you to lower your guard so she can manipulate you.

Great song, It's about a big crush and feeling incomplete without a girl
I'm picking up on a strong Beatles vibe from this album... especially this song.
i really need to get the album so far wat ive heard is really good the meaning is really obvious its about a guy that cant live without a girl
"When you listen there's a hope and I know I'm being hurt"
is actually "When you listen there's a hope and I know I'm being heard"
The start of this song reminds me of the start of "the bends" by Radiohead. Not slagging just saying :)
Good song all the same!
Random fact: these guys are known as the Saboteurs here in Australia, cos there's already some band called Raconteurs here who were'nt willing to give up their name. By the way, fucking great song!
the video is awesome! its very great to see jack white in a new light
A really nice simple love song with kick arse music that's like a breath of fresh air (unless you were alive in the sixties, then you'd probably think the music was nothing that hadn't been done before). Lyrics are simple and yes a little idealogical, its hard to beleive such a person exists. But its nice all the same.
This person exists for everyone in their own mind at least once in life. We're notorious for giving too much credit to those we fall madly in love with.
Great facking song.
