The Girl Is Mine
THE GIRL IS MINE
By Michael Jackson
(Vocal Duet with Paul McCartney)
(From “THRILLER” Album)
[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
The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
I know she’s mine
Because the doggone girl is mine
[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
Because she’s mine
The doggoned 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 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
[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)
