Raise Your Head
Janis Joplin

Alright, this is a tune called Raise Your Hand. Let's go, come on!

One, two ¡ª one, two, three!

If there's somethin' you need,
Hon, that you've never, ever, ever had.
I know you've never had it.
Oh, honey, don't you just sit there cryin',
Don't just sit there feelin' bad.
No, no, no.

You'd better get up,
Now do you understand ?
And raise you hand.
Hey, hey, hey.
I said raise your hand.

You know I'm standin' around, yes I am.
Want to give you all my love.
Oh, honey, won't you come on and open up,
I said, open up in your heart.
Please won't you let me try ?

You got to be good.
Don't ya understand ?
Raise your hand.
Hey, hey, hey.
I said, raise your hand right here,
Right here, right now, yeah!

Whoaaaaah, oh yeah!!

If there's somethin' that you want, dear,
Honey, why won't you come and tell me so ?
I said honey
An' if you ever feel, whoa, that you just might need my lovin'
Honey, all I just want you to do is just let go.

Got to be good.
Don't ya understand,
Raise your hand.
Hey, hey, hey!
I said, raise your hand,
Raise, raise, raise, raise.
Honey ...
Ha, ha, ha
Honey ...
Whoa ... whoaaa ... whoaaa
Said-a, whoaaa ...
Alright!

Honey, raise your hand
'Cause I want you to come along.
Raise your hand
'Cause you know where you belong.
You belong here, now
Said here and now
Said, here and now
Honey, here and now
Here and now
Honey, here, now
Honey, here, now,
Honey, here
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.

Hey, hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up now!
Hey, hey, get it up!

Raise your hand, yeah.
Raise your hand, yeah.
Raise your hand, yeah.

Yeah!!!
Alright!!

Alright, thank you.
