Lyrics
Hands Off My Heart
by Dick Groves

Come on baby
Let me tell you now.

You can play with my body
Like you play with my mind
You can do what you want with me girl
Right up until the end of time.
You can spend all my money
You can even drive my car
But you’ve gotta promise me yeah
Long before things go too far.

CHORUS
You’ve gotta keep your hands off my heart
Too many times it’s been broken
Too many times it’s simply fell apart. Oh yeah yeah.
So if we’re gonna be objective
Maybe I’m over-protective
But I’m telling you right from the start
You keep your hands off my heart.

I would move the whole world for you
And I would treat you oh so kind
I would sell my very soul for you
And buy you every gift I could find.
I would be the perfect lover, baby
I would be your perfect match
But for anything so perfect, girl
There always has to be a catch.

CHORUS.
BREAK.
CHORUS.

Come on baby
You’ve gotta keep your hands off me, baby
You’ve gotta keep your hands off my heart. (repeat)
