"Look at your Hands" is a dance song written by George Michael and David Austin, recorded for his 1987 album Faith.It is the only song co-written for his debut album.

"Look at Your Hands" tells the story about a younger man who expresses anger at his married ex-girlfriend's battered state. She's got "two fat children and a drunken man," and the singer's outrage comes as much from jealousy as from a sense of injustice: "You shoulda been my woman when you had the chance/Bet you don't/Bet you don't/Bet you don't/Like your life now."
