Raise Your Hand
Ed Sullivan Show 16 March 69

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, don't you understand?
And raise you hand.
Hey, hey, hey.
I said, raise your hand.

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

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

Whoaaaah, yeah!

Whoaaaah!!
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand.

Raise.
Gonna raise.
Gonna raise.
Gonna raise.

Said, raise your hand, come on!
Raise your hand, feel it!
Raise your hand, I gotta have it!
Raise your hand.

Raise your hand, yeah!
Raise your hand, yeah!
Raise it up, on up to me.
Come on, raise it up, on up to me.
Oh, raise it up, on up to me, yeah!
Yeah !!!

Maybe
Ed Sullivan Show 16 March 69

Maybe
If I could pray, and I try, dear,
You might come back home, home to me.

Honey, maybe
Oh dear, if I could ever hold your little hand
Oh you just might understand.
Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe dear
I guess I've done something wrong
And I'd be glad to admit it.
Oh, oh, come back on home, oh daddy, right to me!
Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.

But I know that it just doesn't ever seem to matter, baby,
Oh, honey, when I go out or what I'm trying to do,
'Cause I'm still left here
All alone, honey, needing you.

Please, please, please, please,
Oh won't you reconsider baby, come on.
I said come back,
Won't you come back to me!
Yeah!

Maybe dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe,dear
I might be able to help you — show me how.
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe,
Maybe, maybe, maybe,
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.
Ooh!
