Handshake

[Verse 1]

He completes me in a way that no one else can

And the boy staring at me is never gonna be my man

Sitting across the table is everything I never said (Never said)

But he's got eyes to see what's going on in my head


[Pre-Chorus]

And I said with my eyes, "Boy it's fine, yeah, we tried, but we gotta let go;

I got a love for another, I'm gonna see where it goes"


[Chorus]

So we stood up and walked to the stop sign

And we shook hands like a formal occasion

Said, "If you look me up, call me on the Westside"

And I'm thinking oh that I wouldn't be waiting

No no no no, no no, no no no no

No no no no, no no, no no no no


[Verse 2]

It's hard to break in on a girl who carries her heart

Locked up tight inside the arms of another

I didn't say a word to that boy over that brunch

But he picked up what I put down and that was enough


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I said with my eyes, "Boy it's fine, yeah, we tried, but we gotta let go;

I got a love for another, I'm gonna see where it goes"


[Chorus]

So we stood up and walked to the stop sign

And we shook hands like a formal occasion

Said, "If you look me up, call me on the Westside"

And I'm thinking oh that I wouldn't be waiting

No no no no, no no, no no no no

No no no no, no no, no no no no


[Bridge]

If you look me up, one day when it's better to talk

I could tell you 'bout why we never worked out

But for now you'll see it on my face

All to do is just a little handshake (Handshake)


[Pre-Chorus]

And I said with my eyes, "Boy it's fine, yeah, we tried, but we gotta let go;

And I got a love for another, I'm gonna see where it goes"


[Chorus]

So we stood up and walked to the stop sign

And we shook hands like a formal occasion

Said, "If you look me up, call me on the Westside"

And I'm thinking oh that I wouldn't be waiting

No no no no, no no, no no no no

No no no no, no no, no no no no
