If you're on yo knees, beggin' for pity.
You can crawl all the way to Detroit CityÂ…or you canÂ…

Reach out yo hand and take it now.
Reach out yo hand and take it now.

You can cry all night lyin' in yo bed.
Pray to sweet Jesus, “Help you when you're dead”.
Or you canÂ… 
Reach out yo hands and take it now.
Reach out yo hands and take it now.
Reach out yo hands and take it now.
Take the one you love.

You can hide from love like a weasel in a hole.
Drink yourself stupid and no body'll know.

Reach out yo hands and take it now.
Reach out yo hands and take it now.
Reach out yo hands and take it now.
Take the one you love.

Go on. Get it.

Take your sweet time like ol' Mr. Chill.
But you best reach out and grab it or the next man will.
Gotta reach out yo hand and take it now.
Reach out yo hand and take it now.
Reach out yo hand. Reach out yo hand.
Reach out yo hand. Reach out yo hand.
