I told my friend I'd check for you   He told me that he liked you too   But then I saw him kissing you   I could've died when he said,    hands off she's mine   Said hands off she's mine   Hands off she's mine   Hands off she's mine,    I want her all the time   Hands off she's mine,    hands off she's mine.      I knew that this was real although   It usually comes mixed up with fear.   I knew that I could wait   Although it just might take    a thousand years.   Said hands off she's mine   Hands off she's mine   Hands off she's mine,    until the end of time   Hands off she's mine,    hands off she's mine.      La, la, la, la,   La, la, la, la,   La, la, la, la,   La, la, la, la.      Now we're going steady,    been together several weeks   I check out all the other guys    who we see on the streets   When I say, hands off she's mine   Hands off she's mine   Hands off she's mine,    it takes up all my time   Hands off she's mine,    hands off she's mine.      I said hands off me darta   I tell ya get yer hands off me darta,   C'mon mek me said don't mess around on ya,   C'mek mek me tell ya don't want ta get ya.      La, la, la, la,   La, la, la, la,   La, la, la, la,   La, la, la, la.      Funny how the best things    only last for every day   I thought she was my girlfriend   'Till I heard that someone else was saying,   Hands off she's mine.    Hands off she's mine.   Hands off she's mine.    Hands off she's mine.   Hands off she's mine.    Hands off she's mine.   Hands off she's mine.    Hands off she's mine.   Hands off she's mine.    Hands off she's mine.   Hands off she's mine.
