Keep Your Hands To Yourself - Song Lyrics

  • Originally performed by the Georgia Satellites (Dan Baird, Rick Richards, Rich Price, Mauro Magellan)
  • A big # 2 hit in 1986
  • This was the only song by the Georgia Satellites that ever cracked the Top 40 charts

I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing a ling a ling
Want to call you on the telephone, give you a ring.
But each time I talk I get the same old thing
Always no huggy no kissy 'til I get a wedding ring.
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.

I said baby oh baby why do you keep me this way?
You know I'm still your loverboy, I still feel the same way.
She told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow,
She said no huggy no kissy 'til I get a wedding vow.
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.

Well I wanted her real bad and was about to give in
When she started talkin' 'bout love, and talkin' 'bout sin.
I said honey I'll live with you for the rest of your life,
She said no huggy no kissy 'til you've made me your wife
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.
