Keep Your Hands Off My Baby

- written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, for whom "Little" Eva Boyd baby-sat

- King also provided backup vocal here.

We've been friends for oh, so long

I let you share what's mine

But when you mess with the boy I love

It's time to draw the line

CHORUS

Keep your hands (keep your hands) off my bay-ee-a-by

I ain't gonna tell you but-a one more time

Oh, keep your hands (keep your hands) off my bay-ee-a-by

Girl, you get it through your head

That boy is mine

I don't mind when you lend my clothes

My jewelry and such

But, honey, let's get something straight

There's one thing you don't touch

Keep your hands (keep your hands) off my baby

Girl, you get it through your head

That boy is mine

CHORUS

(Keep your hands)

Oh, keep your hands (off my) off my baby (bay-ee-a-by )

I ain't gonna tell you twice

(Keep your hands off my)

He's mine (bay-ee-a-by)

Yay, yay, yeah, he's mine

(Keep your hands off my)

You better watch yourself, now (bay-ee-a-by)

FADE
