My hands, my hands, my ha uh my hands Cant keep my hands, my hands, my, uh, my Cant keep my hands, my hands, my, uh, my Cant keep my hands, my hands my hands out the cookie jar. You see I got this problem I need help tryin' to solve it 'Cause meeting after meeting and I'm still a cookie whore You can hide them, I'ma find them, on the counter, in the closet And Ill say I ain't do it with my face covered in chocolate My girl be setting booby traps To catch me eating Scooby snacks I left crumbs in the bed once But I told her I was through with that She still don't be believing me And I guess that I'm cool with that But I got a sweet tooth, that'll never come loose And the truth of the matter is. [Chorus] I got a thing for Milano, Biscotti Italianos And I never turn down some Oreo's if you got them Butter Pecan Puerto Rican, Or them Oatmeal Raisin Asians. Hazelnut Brazilians, Macadamia Caucasians, Double stuffed or thin mint It don't matter you getting it 'Cause I got a sweet tooth that'll never come loose And the fact of the matter is. [Chorus] I'm a monster for these cookies I'm a beast for they're treats An animal for they're crackers Head to feet they so damn sweet Cant keep my hands, my hands, my ha uh my Cant keep my hands, my hands, my hands out the cookie jar. And then you have it haha I tried my best I went to cookie anonymous I guess I'm a failure I cant seem to keep my damn hands out the cookie jar but, It is what it is
