The Setting Boundaries Song Songtext
von Hopscotch Songs

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 okay
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
