[Chorus]
I don't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with my thing
My sweet, tender, lovin', groovy thing
(She don't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with her thing)
Hands off, you hear me?
Leave my thing alone
[Verse 1]
I told you girls
He's my special prize
When I turn my back
You want to try him out for size
[Chorus]
But I don't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with my thing
My sweet, tender, lovin', groovy thing
(She don't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with her thing)
Hands off, you hear me?
Leave my thing alone
[Bridge]
Into each life, some rain must fall
If I catch you messin' with mine
You won't have no life at all
[Chorus]
'Cause you won't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with your thing (Your thing, your thing)
And likewise, I don't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with my thing (My thing, my thing)
Leave my thing alone
[Chorus]
I don't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with my thing
My sweet, tender, lovin', groovy thing
(She don't want nobody)
