Hands Off

Anyone can tell you, lies like one and one is two
And then call 'round and tell that I'm not right for you
Hands off, you're gonna hear me saying,
Hands off, things sure need some changing
Hands off, we'd all be much better of then
Anyone can tell you, lies like one and two is three
And then call 'round and tell that you were'nt made for me
Hands off, do you need persuading?
Hands off, I've had enough interrogation
Hands off, do you hear what I say?
Hands off, now do you need persuading?
Hands off, I've had enough interrogation
Hands off, do you hear what I say?
Yeah
You know that I'm a peaceful man, now as a general rule
That's the way I'd like to keep it, if I had to choose
Hands off, now here's the situation
Hands off, my girl needs consideration,
Hands off, did you hear what I say?
There's people letter-writing until the ink turns green
Trying to ruin my reputation, sell it to a magazine
Hands off, now here's the situation
Hands off, my girl needs consideration
Hands off, we'd all be better off then
Hands off, now here's the situation,
Hands off, my girl needs consideration,
Hands off, did you hear what I say?
Hands off, now here's the situation,
Hands off, needs some consideration,
Hands off, did you hear what I say?
Hands off, off..hey..
Hands off, now here's the situation,
Hands off, did you hear what I say.
