Take Your Hands Away 1908

Liza, you are such an awful tease,
you're cold enough to make a fellow freeze,
other beaus do as they please
now won't you spare me just one squeeze?
I've a mind to steal a little kiss,
a tiny one
that you will never miss,
would you grudge me this bit of bliss?
But she shook her head and answered this:

You'll have to

Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
That may be love but I don't care,
you hug me like a grizzly bear.
Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
You don't know who is watching you,
so take your hands away!

Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
That may be love but I don't care,
you hug me like a grizzly bear.
Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
You don't know who is watching you,
so take your hands away!

Honey, loving is a lover's art,
But I never get a chance to start,
let me tell you heart to heart,
that it's brought about by Cupid's dart.
Love ain't wrong you just ask your pa
how he made love to your dear mama,
I want you for my guiding star,
won't you let my arms stay where they are?

But she said:

Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
That may be love but I don't care,
you hug me like a grizzly bear.
Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
You don't know who is watching you,
so take your hands away!

Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
That may be love but I don't care,
you hug me like a grizzly bear.
Take your hands away!
Take your hands away!
You don't know who is watching you,
so take your hands away!
