[Verse 1]
If there's something you need
All that you'll never, ever, ever had
I know you've never had it
Ohh honey, don't you just sit there crying
Don't you sit there feeling bad
No, no, no

[Chorus]
You better get up
Now don't you understand?
And raise your hand
Hey, hey, hey
I said raise your hand

[Verse 2]
You know I'm staying above, yes I am
Want to give you all my love, ohh I do
Ohh honey, won't you come on and open up?
I said open up little heart
Please, won't you let me try? Yea

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Woh, yea
(Yea)
Woh, aaa, aaa, aaa

[Outro]
Raise your hand [x4]
Raise, eee
Ohh raise, eee
Ohh raise, eee
Ohh raise, eee
Said, raise your hand, come on
Raise your hand, feel
Raise your hand, and I gonna come in
Raise your hand
Raise your hand, yea
Raise your hand, yea
Raise it up, on up to me, come on
Raise it up, on up to me now
Raise it up, on up to me, yea
Yea

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
