[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
I told you girl, he's my special prize
When I turn my back
You want to try him on for size
[Chorus]
Into each life, some rain must fall
If I catch you messin' with mine
You won't have no life at all
Cause you won't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with your thing (Your thing, your thing)
And likewise
I wouldn't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with my thing (My thing, my thing)
Leave my thing alone
(Instrumental like beginning)
[Chorus]
I don't want nobody in the world
Messin' around with my thing
My sweet, tender, lovin', groovy thing
