We've been friends for oh, so long
I
let you share what's mine
But when you mess with the boy I love
It's time
to draw the line
CHORUS
Keep your hands (keep your hands) off my
bay-ee-a-by
I ain't gonna tell you but-a one more time
Oh, keep your hands
(keep your hands) off my bay-ee-a-by
Girl, you get it through your
head
That boy is mine
I don't mind when you lend my clothes
My
jewelry and such
But, honey, let's get something straight
There's one
thing you don't touch
Keep your hands (keep your hands) off my
baby
Girl, you get it through your head
That boy is
mine
<instrumental interlude>
CHORUS
(Keep your
hands)
Oh, keep your hands (off my) off my baby (bay-ee-a-by )
I ain't
gonna tell you twice
(Keep your hands off my)
He's mine
(bay-ee-a-by)
Yay, yay, yeah, he's mine
(Keep your hands off my)
You
better watch yourself, now (bay-ee-a-by)
FADE
