Everywhere I go people want to touch me
From a handshake to a hug from a long-lost friend
I don’t appreciate it very muchly
I’ve got a lot of personal space here to defend
The last time that I went to see a doctor
I was 22 or maybe 23
When she touched my arm I SCREAMED and it shocked her
And I ain’t goin’ back if she thinks she can lay her paws on me
CHORUS:
Keep your grubby mitts off
Don’t touch, don’t even look
Gimme back the hand that you just shook
Back off and don’t make me call the police
I know you only want a piece
Keep your grubby mitts off
Don’t touch, don’t even look
I don’t need no damn psychology book
It doesn’t matter that we only just met
And that you haven’t tried to touch me yet
The girls I see in pictures are much safer
On the internet or in a magazine
When I bring a real girl by it tends to chafe her
As we walk into my room and I keep 10 feet in between
