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
 as [bad word] 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 daughter
 I tell ya get yer hands off me daughter
 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 never 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.
