JUST LOOK, DON'T TOUCH, HE'S MINE
(John Harper)

Charline Arthur - 1955



Just look, don't touch, he's mine
Just look, don't touch, he's mine
Don't dare get out of line

Don't wink, don't flirt, he's mine
Don't swish that skirt, he's mine
Just look, don't touch, he's mine

If you wanta stay real healthy, then you'd better listen hard
Just keep all your attention for the guys in your own yard
I'm not the kind to worry, but I am the kind to fight
And I get to be a buzzsaw if the situation's tight
I like your taste in men, but this here menu's not for sale
So stay away from him 'cause I don't like the chow in jail

Get smart, depart, he's mine
Delay, you may resign
From this old world, he's mine

Just look, don't touch, he's mine
Just look, don't touch, he's mine
Don't dare get out of line

I've heard a lot of fellows say that you were on the ball
And that's the kind I just can't strike a liking for at all
I'd like to be real subtle, and sweet and gentle too
But when it comes to lovin', I'm like bears outside a zoo
So take it from me, honey, and please take it from me straight
Just take it far away from here before it gets too late

Just look, don't touch, he's mine
Just look, don't touch, he's mine
Don't dare get out of line
