Getting Out of Hand

About Getting Out of Hand

"Getting Out of Hand" is the debut single by American female band The Bangles, released in 1981 and produced by the band themselves. The group was named at the time The Bangs, and its line-up consisted of Susanna Hoffs, Debbi Peterson and Vicki Peterson. The group was part of the Paisley Underground movement, a musical scene based around Los Angeles in which groups mixed 1960s-inspired pop with garage rock. "Getting Out of Hand", written by Vicki Peterson and sung by Hoffs, was released as The Bangs' debut single on their own label DownKiddie Records, and distributed locally around Los Angeles in 1981. In order to gain more exposure, Hoffs personally handed a copy of the single to radio DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, pleading for the song to be aired on his radio show Rodney on the ROQ. In December 1981, Bingenheimer started playing the single, resulting in an increase of the audience on the band's live shows. The Bangles would later contribute an instrumental song, "Bitchen Summer", to the Rodney On The Roq: Volume 3 compilation issued in 1982. more »

A friend told me yesterday
You've been looking for me
If I've been staying out of your way
I've done it intentionally

Saw you walking with her
(Walking with her)
Always kept that few steps behind, yeah
Wonder if she knows for sure
(She knows for sure)
Her man's going on walking the line

Then I say to myself, "Beware"
It's getting out of hand
(Out of hand)
It's getting out of hand
(Don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah

Look me right in the eye
Tell me I'm the one that you love
Right back into your lies
Forgetting how determined I was

Then I say to myself, "Beware"
It's getting out of hand
(Out of hand)
It's getting out of hand
(Don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah
