Keep Your Hands Off My Baby Lyrics

We've been friends for oh-so-long
I won't let you share what's mine
When you mess with the girl I love
It's time to draw the line
Keep your hands off my baby
Ain't going to tell you
One more time
So keep your hands off my baby
For it's going to do you in
That girl is mine
I don't mind if you lend my clothes
. . . much
There is something that you can't say
There's one thing you don't touch
Keep your hands off my baby
Ain't going to tell you
One more time
So keep your hands off my baby
For it's really going to do you in
That girl is mine
Keep your hands off my baby
Ain't going to tell you
One more time
So keep your hands off my baby
For it's really going to do you in
That girl is mine
Oh, keep your hands off my baby
She's mine
Keep your hands off my baby
You'd better watch your step now
For it's really going to do you in
That girl is mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
