Keep Your Hands Off My Baby - Nia Peeples

"Keep Your Hands Off My Baby" is a powerful pop  rock song from the season 5 episode "Self Defense". Written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg,  it is wonderfully performed by Nia Peeples, who looks and sounds amazing, with Loretta Chandler, Carrie Hamilton and Page Hannah on backing vocals. 

Download MP3

The original recording was performed by Tina Turner and appears as a B side for the 1985 German release of her "Private Dancer" single.

 So far "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby" has never appeared on a Fame album and has never been performed live in any of the Fame concerts.

I've seen the way that you look at him,

 When you think I'm not around,

 And I've seen you try to catch his eyes,

And you think you're gainin' ground.

You know last night he told me,

Everything that you said,

You asked him if he gets lonely,

Well then get this through your head

 

Keep your hands off my baby,

Keep your hands off my baby,

Don't you know you better give it up,

Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up,

Don't you know you better stop, better stop,

Leave my baby alone.

 

I've seen the way that you brushed back your hair,

I've heard your baby-talk,

I know just what you're thinkin' there,

Ooo, I'm watchin' what you want.

You know it took a lot of patience,

To win my baby's love,

Now you're tryin' my patience,

If you push, I'm gonna shove.

 

Keep your hands off my baby,

Keep your hands off my baby,

Don't you know you better give it up,

Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up,

Don't you know you better stop, better stop,

Leave my baby alone (yeah).

 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

 I've seen the way that you look at him,

When you think I'm not around,

I've seen you try to catch his eyes,

And you think you're gainin' ground.

You know last night he told me,

Everything that you said,

You asked him if he gets lonely,

Well get this through your head.

 

Keep your hands off my ...,

Keep your hands off my baby,

Keep your hands off my baby,

Don't you know you better give it up,

Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up,

Don't you know you better stop, better stop,

Leave my baby ...

Give it up (yeah), give it up (yeah), said give it up (yeah),

Give it up (yeah), give it up (yeah),

Don't you know you better stop, (better stop),

Leave my baby alone
