YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH) (Vs 1)

Well, yesterday I went shopping, buddy, down to the mall
Looking for something pretty I could hang up on my wall
I knocked over a lamp, before it hit the floor I caught it
A salesman turned around and said, "You break it you bought it"

You can look but you better not touch
You can look but you better not touch
If you keep messing around, you're gonna end up in dutch
You can look but you better, look but you better not touch

Well, I came home from work and I switched on Channel 5
There was a pretty little girly looking straight into my eyes
I watched as she wiggled back and forth across the screen
She didn't get me excited, she just made me feel mean

'Cause you can look but you better not touch
'Cause you can look but you better not touch
If you keep messing around, you're gonna end up in dutch
You can look but you better, look but you better not touch

Look out !

Well, I called up Dirty Annie on the telephone
I took her out to the drive-in just to get the girl alone
I found a lover's rendezvous, the music low, I'm set to talk
A tapping on the window and a voice said in the dark
"Hey you, out of the car"

You can look but you better not touch
You can look but you better not touch
If you keep messing around, you're gonna end up in dutch
You can look but you better, look but you better
