Keep Your Hands off Her
Respect Boundaries: Unraveling the Tale of 'Keep Your Hands off Her'
Lyrics
Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
Warning to keep away from the woman mentioned
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her
Reiteration of the warning to keep hands off
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
Emphasis on the instruction to avoid touching her
You know she don't belong to you
Assertion that the woman does not belong to the listener
She's a heavy-hipped1 mama, she's go the great big legs
Descriptive portrayal of the woman's physical attributes
She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's got the great big legs
Repetition of the woman's physical attributes with emphasis
She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's got the great big legs
Continuation of the description of the woman's physique
Walking like she walkin' on soft boiled eggs
Description of the way she walks, suggesting a certain grace
Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
Restating the warning against touching the woman
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her
Reiteration of the cautionary message
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
Emphasizing the need to respect the warning
You know she don't belong to you
Reaffirmation that the woman is not the listener's possession
Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey
Introducing the woman's name (Josie) and stating she is not nosy
Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey
Repetition of the woman's name and her lack of nosiness
Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey
Continuation of introducing Josie and her non-nosy nature
But boy, she sure is cosey
Commenting on Josie's cozy or friendly disposition
Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
Warning against touching Josie, maintaining the theme
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her
Reiteration of the cautionary message regarding Josie
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
Emphasizing the importance of keeping hands off Josie
You know she don't belong to you
Reaffirmation that Josie is not the property of the listener
She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight

She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight
Repetition of the physical description, highlighting straight build
She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight
Continuation of the portrayal of Josie's physical attributes
She's got just what it takes
Stating that Josie possesses what it takes, implying attractiveness
Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
