From Wikipedia:
“Keep Your Hands Off My Baby” is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It has been recorded by many artists, most notably Little Eva, who had a #12 hit with the song on the Billboard charts in 1962. Other artists who have recorded versions of the song include The Beatles, Kirsty MacColl, Helen Shapiro, Lindisfarne, Skeeter Davis, The Trashmen and Wayne Fontana.
The Beatles recorded the song for the BBC radio show Saturday Club on 22 January 1963, which was first broadcast four days later. They also performed it in the following month on their first British tour. It was released on their album, Live at the BBC, in 1994.
We've been friends for oh so long
I let you share what's mine
When you mess with the girl I love
It's time to draw the line
Keep your hands off my baby
Ain't a-gonna tell you but a-one more time
So keep your hands off my baby
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine
I don't mind if you lend my clothes
Jewellery and such
There is something that you get straight
There's one thing you don't touch
Keep your hands off my baby
Ain't a-gonna tell you but a-one more time
So keep your hands off my baby
Can you get it through your head?
That girl is mine
Ow, baby!
Keep your hands off my baby
Ain't a-gonna tell you but a-one more time
So keep your hands off my baby
Can you get it through your head?
That girl is mine
Oh keep your hands off my baby, now
She's mine
Keep your hands off my baby
You better watch your step now
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
