THE GIRL IS MINE

By Michael Jackson

(Vocal Duet with Paul McCartney)

 

 

[1st Verse]

[Michael]

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

 

[Chorus]

The girl is mine

The doggone girl is mine

I know she’s mine

Because the doggone girl is mine

 

[2nd Verse]

[Paul]

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

 

[Chorus]

Because she’s mine

The doggoned girl is mine

Don’t waste your time

Because the doggone girl is mine

 

[Bridge]

[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

 

[3rd Verse]

[Paul]

Don’t build 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

 

[Chorus]

[Michael]

The girl is mine

The doggone girl is mine

Don’t waste your time

Because the doggone girl is mine

 

 

[Michael & Paul]

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 Sings]

I don’t believe it.

 

[Michael & Paul]

The girl is mine (mine, mine, mine)

 

[Fade-Out / Repeat]
