A letra:
[Michael Jackson:]
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, m-m-m
I
know she's mine
Because the doggone girl is mine, m-m-m
[Paul
McCartney:]
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
I love you more than he
[Michael
Jackson:]
(Take you anywhere)
Well, I love you
endlessly
(Loving we will share)
So come and go with me to one
town
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 McCartney:]
Don't build your hopes to
be let down
[Michael Jackson:]
'Cause I really feel
it's time
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
[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}
{The girl is mine} (mine, mine);
{yep, she's mine} (mine, mine)
{The girl is mine} (mine, mine);
{yeah, she's mine} (mine, mine)
[Michael Jackson:]
Don't
waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine
The girl is
mine, the girl is mine
[Michael {Paul}:]
(Michael,
we're not going to fight about this, okay?)
Ha, ha, Paul, I think
I told you I'm a lover, not a fighter
{Eh, I've heard it all
before, Michael}
{She told me that I'm her forever lover, you
know, don't you remember?}
Well, after loving me she said she
couldn't love another
{Is that what she said?}
Yeah, she said
it; you keep dreaming
{I don't believe it! Mine, mine}
(No,
no, no) The girl is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
{No, mine} No, mine
(Mine, mine)
{She's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine} (Mine, mine,
mine)
'Cause the girl is mine
{No, the girl is mine} (Mine,
mine)
The girl is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
{No, the girl is
mine}
The girl is mine (Mine, mine)
(No, she's mine)
