The Girl Is Mine Lyrics

Every night she walks right in my dreams Since I met her from the start I'm so proud I am the only one Who is special in her heart The girl is mine The doggone girl is mine I know she's mine Because the doggone girl is mine I don't understand the way you think Saying that she's yours not mine Sending roses and your silly dreams Really just a waste of time Because she's mine The doggone girl is mine Don't waste your time Because the doggone girl is mine (Paul) I love you more than he (Take you anywhere) (Michael) But I love you endlessly (Loving we will share) (Michael & Paul) So come and go with me Two on the town (Michael) But we both cannot have her So it's one or the other And one day you'll discover That she's my girl forever and ever (Paul) Don't bulid your hopes to be let down 'Cause I really feel it's time (Michael) I know she'll tell you I'm the one for her 'Cause she said I blow her mind The girl is mine The doggone girl is mine Don't waste your time Because the doggone girl is mine She's mine, she's mine No, no, no, she's mine The girl is mine, the girl is mine The girl is mine, the girl is mine (Paul) The girl is mine, (yep) she's mine The girl is mine, (yes) she's mine (Michael) Don't waste your time Because the doggone girl is mine The girl is mine, the girl is mine (Paul) Michael, we're not going to fight about this, okay (Michael) Paul, I think I told you, I'm a lover not a fighter (Paul) I've heard it all before Michael,she told me that I'm her forever lover, you know, don't you remember (Michael) Well, after loving me, she said she couldn't love another (Paul) Is that what she said (Michael) Yes, she said it, you keep dreaming (Paul) I don't believe it (Both) The girl is mine (mine, mine, mine) (Repeat - fade out)

Meaning of The Girl Is Mine

“The Girl Is Mine” is a playfully competitive duet about a man’s desperate desire for a woman who is simultaneously wanted by another, creating a frustrating and ultimately futile struggle. Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney express their jealousy and possessiveness through repeated declarations – “The doggone girl is mine!” – highlighting the illogical nature of their conflict. The lyrics reveal a sense of annoyance and wasted effort as they both attempt to convince the woman of their devotion, fueled by grand gestures and promises, while acknowledging the impossibility of sharing her. Despite the tension and arguing showcased in brief exchanges, the core message is one of stubborn insistence; Michael firmly believes she’s his forever, repeating this mantra with unwavering conviction, ultimately demonstrating a possessive love and highlighting the absurd drama surrounding a simple romantic pursuit.
