keep your hands to yourself

keep your hands to yourself!

no, don't take my heart off the kitchen shelf

just save me for another day

please, listen to what i have to say:

don't toss me down the hall
expecting me to come running when you want to call
no, you can't be serious when you're acting cute
or i'll be walking down the center aisle in my birthday suit
heading to the airport with a cheap ticket in my name
for a sideline seat to a ceremonial game
there's not much more to hold me back
i've run from you before
if i had my sneakers on
i'd slide across the bedroom floor
there'd be a picture window and a big front door
a distant mountain and a far away shore
you'd hear me shouting as i ran
hide and seek or kick the can
without wearing a stitch of clothes
to somewhere alone that no one knows
so,
keep your hands to yourself!
don't take my heart off the kitchen shelf
just save me for another day
