"Someone Put Your Hand Out" is a song by Michael Jackson, released as a single in to promote the European leg of the Dangerous World Tour.
It was completely re-written and re-recorded in 1990 for Dangerous, although it didn't make the cut. It was reworked for the last time in April of 1992, to be released as a promotional single a month later.
On July 11, 2020, the 1987 demo was leaked as a low quality recording from Brad Sundberg's seminars. On January 27, 2023, the same version was leaked in HQ after Brad's laptop was stolen. The leaked song is vocally complete.
1987 version
Lonely heartaches everyday
I'm, cryin' in the deep
Try to grieve, I can live, pain
Nothing wrong with tears
Duh na na na na, feeling it (Feeling it)
My heart's out for you (Out for you)
Somebody just save my life, yeah
Anything, so tell me now, say
Someone put your hand out
Begging for your love
All I do is hand out, heart that needs your love
Say the words turn on me, see
Hope on me everyday
It's a blind eye, I can tell you, girl
Any word I could say
I'm feeling hurt and it's all in vain (All in vain)
My heart's out for you (Out for you)
Somebody just save my life (Save my life), yeah
Anything, so tell me now, say
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out, heart that needs your love
Someone put your hand out
Begging for your love
All I do is hand out, heart that needs your love
Save me from this heart ache
This is just a heart ache
I can mean no heart ache, oh no
How much more can I take? Ooh!
Pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa
For the better, turn on me, yeah
Can it be any wrong?
Not a lot, nothing wrong, girl
In the day, I'm home
Feeling hurt and it's all in vain (All in vain)
My heart's out for you (Out for you)
Somebody just (Save my life), yeah
I don't care, so tell me now, say
Someone put your hand out
Begging for your love
All I do is hand out, a heart that needs your love

1992 version
Never try to talk about it
It's got to sound good to me inside
I have to think about it
I'm so undemanding
Cause they say love is blind
I've lived this life pretending
I can bear this hurt deep inside
The truth is that I'm longing
A love that's so divine
I've searched this whole world wishing
She'll be there time after time
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love
I've lived my life the lonely
A soul that cries of shame
With handicapped emotions
Save me now from what still remains
I'll be your story hero
I'll serenade in rhyme
I'm just needing that someone
Save me now from the path I'm on
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
Cause all I do is hand out a heart that needs your love
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love
When you say we will dance 'til the light of day
It's just like the children running with joy
When we pray will you promise me you'll always stay
It's because I'm needing that someone
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
Cause all I do is hand out a heart that needs your love
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out
Love
