When you put your hands on me, ooh-oh yeah
When you put your hands on me, ooh-oh
I don't know 'bout the travel of time
And I've never seen most of the world, ooh
I don't know diving out of the sky
Or living like the diamonds of pearls, ooh
See I haven't danced to a musical tune (la, la, la)
And I haven't noticed the flowers in bloom (la, la, la)
And I haven't smiled when alone in my room very much
Then we touched, oh
I just know when you put your hands on me
I feel sexy and my body turns to gold
I just know when you put your hands on me
I feel ready and I lose my self-control
(When you put your hands on me, hands on me, ooh)
I don't know if a doll can unwind
Or how to make a person go, ooh
And I don't know how to be what you like
And simply open up the depth of my soul
So I keep my wings and my eyes on the down (la, la, la)
Ready for nothing but holding my ground (la, la, la)
And I haven't used a particular noun very much
Then we touched, ooh
(I just know) I just know (when you put your hands on me)
When you put your hands on me (I feel sexy)
(And my body turns to gold) my body turns to gold
(I just know when you put your hands on me, I feel ready) you put your hands on me
(And I lose my self-control) I lose self-control
(When you put your hands on me, hands on me, ooh)
I won't notice or pay you no mind (pay you no mind)
Boy I couldn't care less what you do with your time
Your fingertips on my hips just move me like one of a kind
When you put your hands on me (I just know when you put your...)
I feel so sexy and my body turns to gold (hands on me, I feel sexy, and my body turns to gold)
Put your hands on me (I just know when you put your...)
Put your hands on me, I lose my self-control (I feel so ready, and I lose my self control)
I just know (I just now when you put your hands on me)
When you put your hands on me (I feel sexy and my body turns to gold)
I just know babe (I just know when you put your hands on me)
(I feel ready) I feel ready babe (and I lose my self-control)
(I just know when you put your hands on me)
(I feel sexy and my body turns to gold)
(I just know when you put your hands on me) I feel sexy
I feel ready baby, I feel sexy, ooh...
