We've been friends for oh, so long
I let you share what's mine
But when you mess with the girl I love
It's time to draw the line

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
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine

I don't mind when you lend my clothes
My jewelry and such
Let's get something straight
There's one thing you don't touch

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
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine

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
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine
(Keep your hands)

Oh, keep your hands (keep your hands) off my baby now
She's mine (bay-ee-a-by)
(Keep your hands off my)
You better watch yourself, now (bay-ee-a-by)
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine
