2 hands lyrics by Tate McRae
I want your two hands
To never let me go
I want your two hands
Two hands on me
Don’t need to tell me you love me
Seventeen times in a day (Yeah)
I don’t need to hear I’m your number one
And everybody’s second place
You don’t gotta shit-talk your last girl
Sayin’ she don’t compare to me (Yeah)
Baby, I ain’t saying you don’t know me well (Ooh)
It’s just not the shit I need
‘Cause they’re just words, they don’t mean much
(They don’t mean so much, no, no)
Need a little less talk
And a lot more touch
I just want your two hands on me at all times, baby
If you let go (I want your two hands), better put ’em right back fast
Want your two hands on me like my life needs savin’
Let ’em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah (I want, I want)
You ain’t gonna win with the jewelry
Don’t need the cute fuckin’ names (No)
We don’t gotta live out at hotels
We could do it in my room all day
And I know you could spoil me plenty more
But I don’t really trust that anymore
And I already got that bag for free
But if you bought it, then that’s sweet (Sweet)
No, they’re just things, they don’t mean much
(They don’t mean so much, no, no)
Seen a real good thing
Turn to real fucked up
I just want your two hands on me at all times, baby
If you let go (I want your two hands), better put ’em right back fast
Want your two hands on me like my life needs savin’
Let ’em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah, ’cause
I want ’em all to see
You look good on top of me
At this time at night, I need
Not one, not three
Just your two hands on me like my life needs savin’
Let ’em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah, oh
I want your two hands
Don’t ever let me go
I want your two hands
Put two hands on me (Oh)
I want your two hands (Don’t ever let me go)
Don’t ever let me go (Woah)
(I want your two hands) I want your two hands
(Can you do it like that?) Put two hands on me
I just want your two hands on me at all times, baby
If you let go (I want your two hands), better put ’em right back fast
Want your two hands on me like my life needs savin’
Let ’em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah, ’cause
I want ’em all to see
You look good on top of me
At this time at night, I need
Not one, not three
Just your two hands on me like my life needs savin’
Let ’em all know (I want your two hands)
Can you do it like that? Yeah
Theme and Concept
In “2 hands” by Tate McRae, the lyrics center on a desire for genuine connection over superficial gestures. Tate emphasizes that physical closeness and authentic touch mean more to her than repetitive affirmations, expensive gifts, or grand displays. She craves her partner’s undivided attention and presence, symbolized by the touch of “two hands,” seeking intimacy and stability. The song contrasts the emotional emptiness of material displays with the comfort and sincerity of real affection, underscoring that love is felt through actions rather than words or things.
