Lyrics
"Hands On Experience"
Written and Recorded by Linda Cullum 1987
Verse
They say you're difficult to master
That you have to read the manual carefully
Cuz if you push a wrong button
You'll find your hear in a loop repeating infinitely
Chorus
Don't want to read about you
Don't want to rent an instructional video
I'm never good at directions
I do my best with hands on experience
Verse
I've seen you window shopping
You've been a birthday wish for a long long time
And I can picture a blue ribbon
And a current running through you in my bedroom
Chorus
Bridge
Baby can't you see
That I'm asking for a chance of hands on application
A little time is all I need
A little programming in a new direction
Verse
If you will give me your attention
Something more than artificial intelligence
I'll show you love beyond imagination
I'll show you hands on experience
