Hands Off She's Mine Lyrics

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.

Cute song! He wants her in the beginning but his friend gets to her first. Then when he has her he is paranoid to lose her, which he does in the end.

I used to be confused by the lyric "hands off my daughter" I thought that must be the girls father speaking.

He's actually saying "dawta" which translates to daughter. In Jamaica though "dawta" is used to describe a girl, woman, “sister,” or in this case a girlfriend.
