Somebody save your soul ’Cause you've been sinnin' in this city, I know Too many troubles All these people got you losing control You're like a hug to me, a luxury, my sugar and gold I want the good life, every good night You're a hard one to hold 'Cause you don't even know I can make your hands clap Said I can make your hands clap Somebody save your soul ’Cause you've been sinnin' in this city, I know Too many troubles, all these people got you losing control You're like a hug to me, a luxury, my sugar and gold I want your love and your affection when they're holdin' you close 'Cause you don't even know I can make your hands clap Said I can make your hands clap Every night when the stars come out Am I the only living soul around? Need to believe you could hold me down ’Cause I'm in need of something good right now We could be screamin' till the sun comes out And when we‘re awake we'd be the only soun Get on my knees and say a prayer to james brown That I can make your hands clap That I can make your hands clap That I can make your hands clap My flesh is searchin' for your worst and best, don't ever deny I'm like a stranger, gimme danger, all your wrongs and your rights Secrets on broadway to the freeway, you're a keeper of crime Fear no conviction, grapes of wrath can only sweeten your wine But you don't even know I can make your hands clap Said I can make your hands clap Every night when stars come out Am I the only living soul around? Need to believe you could hold me down ’Cause I'm in need of somethin' good right now We could be screamin' till the sun comes out And when we’re awake we'd be the only sound Get on my knees and say a prayer to james brown That I can make your hands clap That I can make your hands clap That I can make your hands clap That I can make your hands clap So can I get a hand clap?
