Setting Boundaries Song Lyrics

Song by: Matt & Joanna Pace

Some people like hugs, or standing close

teasing or tickling, while others don’t

High fives, hand shakes, kisses, sharing milkshakes

Things people do and say

With others are not ok

Your feelings are important, no matter your size,

So you can set boundaries to clarify

And you can say:

Please stop. I don't like that

I’m feeling uncomfortable.

I need more space

Not around me, don’t take it personally,

That’s just a boundary (That’s a boundary!)

Please stop. I don't like that

I’m feeling uncomfortable.

I need more space

Not around me, don’t take it personally,

It’s just a boundary (That’s a boundary!)

(That’s a boundary! That’s a boundary)

Everyone has different needs,

And we can't read each other's minds

But if we ask before we do something,

We won’t cross each other’s lines

And we’ll know what is and isn’t fine

And say:

I’ll stop. You don't like that

You’re feeling uncomfortable

You need more space

Not around you, I’m not offended or blue,

That’s just your boundary. That’s your boundary

If someone’s invading your personal space, … That’s a boundary!

Or doing things that make you feel unsafe, … That’s a boundary!

Or saying things that make you feel hurt or gross, … Not in front of me!

Whatever affects you most, you need to say something “Like what?”

Maybe like:

Please stop. I don't like that

I’m feeling uncomfortable

I need more space

Not around me, don’t take it personally,

That’s just a boundary (That’s a boundary!)

Please stop. I don't like that

I’m feeling uncomfortable

I need more space

Not around me, don’t take it personally,

That’s just a boundary (That’s a boundary!)

I’m not trying to be mean,

That’s just not my scene

‘Cause that’s a boundary. That’s a boundary

That’s a boundary. That’s a boundary!
