Hands Off (Unless You Mean It)

+ Show full styles

Whiskey's warm in this dim-lit room Your eyes find mine across the crowd too soon I feel your stare like summer heat As you walk over with that slow heartbeat Your smile says more than your words confess But honey, I've seen that look, I must confess Hands off, unless you mean it Don't start fires you can't keep lit I'm not some song you hum then quit Hands off, unless you mean it Don't write checks your heart can't cash I've been burned by that kind of match Your fingers brush against my skin That casual touch ain't casual, I've been Down this road with boys like you Who take what they want, then bid adieu I like your style, I like your face But darlin', I don't have time to waste Hands off, unless you mean it Don't start fires you can't keep lit I'm not some song you hum then quit Hands off, unless you mean it Don't write checks your heart can't cash I've been burned by that kind of match I've danced with shadows in the night Given my heart without a fight Woke up alone at break of day With nothing but regret that came to stay So listen close, I'll say it clear I know my worth, and I hold it dear Your hands say yes, your eyes say maybe But I don't do maybe, that's not my game, baby I like a man who means more than he says Who stays for sunrise, not just sunset's blaze So don't light this fire if you plan to run 'Cause what I'm offering ain't just for fun Hands off, unless you mean it Don't start fires you can't keep lit I'm not some song you hum then quit Hands off, unless you mean it Don't write checks your heart can't cash I've been burned by that kind of match And I mean every word I say Hands off... Unless you're here to stay
