[HANDS OFF] [VERSE 1] You call it love when you interfere Call it concern when you need me near You edit my clothes, my friends, my tone Then act offended when I want my own You wear that halo like camouflage A sugared smile, quiet sabotage You offer help, then send the bill And call me cruel when I won’t sit still [PRE-CHORUS] I kept the peace You claimed the room You mistook manners For permission [CHORUS] Darling, keep your hands off my life You’ve had your turn, now this one is mine Go mismanage your own little tragedy You have no power over me I like my body, I like my mind I like the woman you tried to redesign So take your halo and your sympathy And get your hands off me [VERSE 2] You move my furniture, change my plans Explain my life like you understand You start the fight, you raise the stakes Then weep beside the mess you made We’ve had this argument before Same soft voice, same private war You push until the whole thing blows Then ask me why I’m difficult [PRE-CHORUS] You wanted sweet You wanted small You wanted someone You could install [CHORUS] Darling, keep your hands off my life You’ve had your turn, now this one is mine Go mismanage your own little tragedy You have no power over me I like my body, I like my mind I like the woman you tried to redesign So take your halo and your sympathy And get your hands off me [BRIDGE] You couldn’t make your own life work But volunteered to organise mine What confidence What generosity What a catastrophic waste of time I don’t need your blessing I don’t need your plan I don’t need permission To enjoy who I am [FINAL CHORUS] Darling, keep your hands off my life You’ve had your turn, now this one is mine Go mismanage your own little tragedy You have no power over me I love my body, I love my mind I love the woman you failed to redesign So take your halo and your sympathy And get your hands off me [OUTRO] Go live your life And leave mine alone.
