Scandal - Hands Tied Lyrics






Darling, darling darling,
I'll never understand how sometimes
Just the way you look at me
Can tear my heart
But then again
Darling, darling, darling
Don't look across the room
'Cause you might catch me looking at you
Should we know what to say
Or what to do
So hold on
Don't turn away
There must be a hundred things
We forgot to say

How can we touch
With our hands tied
When only you know
How much you keep me satisfied
How can we explain
This photo play locked up inside
With our hands tied?

Darling, darling, darling
You think this love is blind
Just remember
Each time you squeeze her hand
You crush my heart
Oh and you just could be
Driving me out of my mind
Darling, darling, darling
I'll never let it show
As long as you go on leaving me
I'll just fall apart each time you go
So hold on
Don't take my heart away
She may be one good reason to leave
But I'm a hundred reasons to stay

How can we touch
With our hands tied
When only you know
How much you keep me satisfied
How can we explain
This photo play locked up inside
With our hands tied?

Scandal Hands Tied Comments
  1. c.... w....

    this whole entire album was awesome and completely underrated!!!!!! still love all these songs! Great voice!Great songs!

  2. C.... B....

    27 years old!, 💕💕💕

  3. P.... K....

    One of my favorite and still playing the great 80s songs

  4. c.... w....

    this entire album was WAY underrated!!! all songs were very very good! still love her music and voice to this day!

  5. E.... E....

    Little known fact; but when David Lee Roth left Van Halen, the band asked Patty to take over. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME

  6. S.... D....

    She and Pat Benatar are definitely the predecessors to Martina Mcbride.

  7. S.... ....

    Patti blew away the vast majority of female (and male) rock singers of the day. I never really realized just how talented she was. She was the real deal.

  8. I.... C....

    Lyrics please rocker brother

  9. R.... H....

    By far their best song,I remember this coming out in late '84 - better than "The Warrior"

  10. m.... ....

    Love Patty Smyth, Rinday Ross of Quarter Flash, Pat Banatar, and Ann Wilson of Heart. These ladies have amazing voices. Love this song and many songs of the 80s when i was in high school.

  11. E.... A....

    But this song was released in 1983.

  12. J.... C....

    Patty Smyth, ahhhh, back in the day I anted to do bad things with her. Hmmm, maybe I still do. Insert evil grin emmoji.

  13. s.... m....

    why does this band make me think of the rock group the motels ?

  14. W.... C....

    I got a fever and there’s only one cure: more... snare drum

  15. M.... F....

    I love her atitude in all videos !!! ❤

  16. S.... D....

    Great song and awesome voice

  17. R.... G....

    I wish there was a way to fix stretched videos.

  18. c.... w....

    Warrior was the most underrated album of the 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every song on that album was great!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. R.... P....

    My all time favorite Scandal song. Takes me right back to my Sr yr of high school 1985. What a voice.

  20. A.... ....

    Sadly we'll probably never hear the second Scandal album.

    A.... ....

    scandal with patty smyth will be here in Milwaukee in november

  21. g.... M....

    Great song but not written by scandal it was written by Mike chapman who also produced The Warrior.. anyway don't think anyone else cud do better

  22. E.... b....

    An Incredible voice and a Little Hottie.

  23. F.... F....

    PATTY SMYTH MUCH MUCH MUUUUUNCH BETTER THAN PATTY SMITH

  24. H.... D....

    Mix Scandal brought me here,2019...
    Anyone Else...

  25. T.... D....

    Brilliant! She is perfect, and add Franke Previtt...absolutely incredible!

  26. T.... C....

    Amazing

  27. M.... S....

    I always confuse Patty Smyth and Patti Smith. why did they have names so similar.

  28. J.... L....

    Scandal was a band I was determined to hate when they came out. Because I was punk and they were pop and lame. But Scandal had huge talent. Watch their early video for Love's Got A Line On You. Who is that dude playing rhythm guitar? It's Jon Fucking Bon Jovi! Who is a cheesy goombah but still, the man is an entertainer of the first degree. And it's another perfect pop song. It's why we are enjoying their videos still today. If you can name a woman with a voice as sultry as Patty Smyth, go ahead. Okay, Debbie Harry, Martha Davis - they were akmost as luscious. But who else? Patty Smyth had a delicious voice. Her band was better than anyone wants to admit, and Patty Smyth, she was an immortal.

  29. l.... ....

    Unfortunately you can count the good cuts laid down by this brilliant singer on the fingers of one hand.

  30. M.... G....

    One my laudes of Rocking Roll she's awesome.

  31. M.... M....

    OMG why isn't there any good music like this anymore? ... Today's music sucks!!!!! If you agree with me thumbs up

  32. x.... ....

    2019 anyone?

  33. J.... C....

    Patty, you're the Best!

  34. N.... E....

    Used to have this cassette, and played this jam over over, over,over,...

  35. T.... G....

    Her record label doomed Scandal!
    Very underrated. John McEnroe is one lucky guy!

  36. j.... ....

    That strut! That ‘tude! Her and Pat Benatar are great. Benatar still tours...

  37. p.... ....

    I blew up this entire album... still hold up even after all this time...

  38. d.... ....

    This woman has such a beautiful voice. Patty is fucking great!

  39. s.... S....

    Patty in here reminds me of Madonna in borderline!

  40. M.... G....

    Stationed in Alaska in 84 when this was on MTV all the time. Brings back a flood of memories.

  41. D.... R....

    I hate to say something stupid but I can't make out all the lyrics!!! im so sorry, I love her voice as well, all those female voices from the 80's and early to mid-90's with a power that could rival ANY male rock star

  42. z.... z....

    Love my 80's

  43. P.... C....

    My favorite Scandal song. The audio quality accompanying the video played at the club I was working in at the time was much more resonant and robust, however.

  44. K.... S....

    Patty Smyth: effortlessly sexy. Take notes, folks.

  45. J.... L....

    This is not the greatest song of the 80s by far but still, can anyone tell me a song in the last 30 years that is the equal of this little gem?

  46. E.... M....

    This was a really great song for her and the group.... too bad it only made it to #39 on the Billboard Charts. It so deserved much higher. Top ten at least. The lyrics, the rocking music, and her emotional belting out is what makes great music (imho). I know music is subjective and one man's meat is another's poison, but I think radio mainstream missed this gem.....

  47. G.... S....

    80s" PATTY SMYTH! "HANDS TIED"...... "GREAT SONG & VIDEO" "I SAW PATTY SMYTH AND SCANDEL" IN APRIL 2018 ! AT " THE GREENWICH ODEUM THEATRE " IN EAST GREENWICH, R.I. "GREAT CONCERT " WE♡ LOVE YOU !!!

  48. R.... W....

    her voice still gives me goosebumps !!!. accidentally met her at peabody's in va bch when I had my three-year son for the weekend, the bouncers wouldn't let us in, but she spotted us way in the back and came out, running, to see my son, squatted down, looked up at me and said "he's so cute" ,I was speechless, think I said thank you !!! ... she's quite a rocker and a real sweetheart too !!!

  49. S.... W....

    Wish I had a video of this that was clearer.

  50. D.... B....

    Haven't heard this in years, forgot how much I loved this song. Such a powerful voice, and you can understand her words!

  51. I.... M....

    80s rock at its finest!

  52. D.... K....

    Love this song and patty :)

  53. j.... b....

    Truly nice ,look back 1984 remember on radio stations play , and later buy cassette tape. Play so many times Day. In 1985 got see her in concert. Always enjoy classic hits songs, of 1980s. Fantastic song 100%.

  54. M.... G....

    I remember my dad hearing me sing for the first time when I was younger in my teens! He said I sang just like Patty! What a great compliment! Love her voice so much!

  55. P.... ....

    That little skip move around 2:09 was her trademark and she did it for years

  56. M.... G....

    Have always loved this song and video! Haven’t seen it in years!

  57. R.... M....

    www.rebuildlestudio.com

  58. G.... r....

    if there EVER was a fantasy Pattie and Pat Benatar WOW.... wouldn't that be a 3 some.

  59. H.... d....

    I dare any song playing today to go against this awesome written and produced song!!

    H.... d....

    that's exactly what happened.

  60. a.... f....

    Patty really deserves to be in the rock & roll hall of fame

  61. J.... C....

    I remember being a very young no rank PFC Marine lusting after this woman 3:31 along with my USMC brothers back in the day, man that backside was motivating for us ooh the f rah.

  62. S.... W....

    The coolest chick on the planet!!!

  63. l.... l....

    love it still

  64. G.... B....

    Only a #41 peak on Billboard Hot 100 ?? what a total injustice...this was the single that made me go out and get the album (had The Warrior single already on vinyl at the time)

    G.... B....

    That must have been awesome to have on vinyl

    G.... B....

    Beat of A Heart was that tune for me! It also amazingly charted at #41. The Kinks had 2 singles do that in their career; The Cars had three! Hard to believe a band had 2 like that from 1 album! Two missed opportunities to be commented on by Casey Kasem which was a big deal back then!

  65. J.... C....

    Very underrated singer. She should've got more recognition.

  66. C.... S....

    entered Billboard Oct 20, 1984 ..reached #41 ..reached #21 on Rock chart

  67. m.... ....

    wow I have not heard this in a long time what happened to music today .great great song

  68. K.... M....

    I remember we used to play the song and my wife sang it so wonderfully, wow do I miss those days!

  69. S.... Z....

    The Best

  70. N.... W....

    Anyone else or does Victoria Beckham look a little like Patty here? Both gorgeous of course. Love this reminds me of college days and nights in the bars around Cheltenham.

  71. R.... M....

    VOTE THEM IN "ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME"!!!

  72. d.... c....

    This album is stellar. It was overshadowed by the warrior single. Seems to be common theme with 80s bands (I am finding out). I just got this album a year ago. The whole band smokes.

  73. r.... ....

    Night Tracks...Sweet!

  74. C.... ....

    great back beat....damn where's my hairspray...

  75. G.... J....

    one of my favorite scandal songs...haunting....👻

  76. B.... T....

    This song is fantastic, I just loved her strong voice she was great in the 80's and 90's.Don't know why alot of people didn't pick up on her music?Love her.

    B.... T....

    X-Ray Crystallography keep leaning on your race crutch

    B.... T....

    @X-Ray Crystallography have you always pulled out the race card to cover up your shortcomings as a person? Or has this been your go to excuse?

    B.... T....

    @Christopher Wood , and what do YOU know about race issues, You're just a white dude.

    B.... T....

    X-Ray Crystallography boring white girl ? Whites create the best music

    B.... T....

    @X-Ray Crystallography the demise of "music" !

  77. K.... A....

    Very underrated singer ... she truly uses her voice like the instrument it is ...

  78. A.... A....

    Great song, massively underrated. Much better than The Warrior (which is okay).

    A.... A....

    I agree it only got to #41 on the Billboard hot 100..i think it should have at least went Top 10 or 20...

  79. c.... ....

    Shoulda been a bigger hit.
    My favorite song off The Warrior.
    And The Warrior was no chopped liver.
    And also, her band were tighter than a gnat's ass.
    They never get any credit.

  80. M.... E....

    In my dreams, trying to remember the lyrics to this song, I wish my beloved friend could be alive. I miss you and this song is for you. Yeah, when we both met and were still pretty young. 21 yo. dude! ;)

  81. D.... ....

    I had a mad crush for Patty when I was 15 because of this video.

    D.... ....

    I still do!! LOL

    D.... ....

    you were,nt the only one, still diggin this after all these years awesome

    D.... ....

    Yep, me too, I was 16 when the song hit the airwaves and it's still my favorite tune of Patty's. ("Never Enough" is a close second.)

  82. J.... K....

    Oh. My. God.

    27 year old Patty Smyth in a little black dress.

    Now I remember why the 80s were the best decade.

    J.... K....

    Stone cold sexy and can sing like no other.  Seriously crushing on her ! lol

    J.... K....

    You must check her out in the video Never Enough

    J.... K....

    patty. Smyth ,... I love you

  90. E.... J....

  91. R.... P....

    What a voice I mean from the second I heard this in my Jr yr of high school it was my all x fav Scandal Patty Smyth song!!!!!!!!

  92. l.... ....

  93. j.... b....

    the best song by Scandal. It proves why Patty is the best female vocalist of any era

    j.... b....

    +jim butler I love it, but "Beat of a Heart" is a rock anthem, with excellent lyrics, too! I wish it hadn't been marred by those mechanical drums, and the video was cheesy, also, but an amazing song, it remains!

  94. r.... ....

    Yes gentlemen, 80's chicks were, are and still that hot. Not like what we have today. KROQ.

    r.... ....

    is that KROQ radio  you're  chiming  in  from !!?     or are you saying something's a crock !?    in  any  case 80'S chicks  were  definitely  hot!!

    r.... ....

    I lived it and I can back it up 100 percent :)

  95. J.... L....

    Patty's voice here is amazing! Should've won some award for this.

    J.... L....

    +Jaclyn LaFrance Very very unique ans very sexy .

    J.... L....

    I've always loved Patty's voice. So much better than most of today's singers imo

    J.... L....

    Jaclyn LaFrance love Patty. Wonderful voice

  96. D.... D....
