THE BOY IS MINE

— Excuse me. Can I please talk to you for a minute?
— Uh huh, sure. You know, you look kinda familiar
— Yeah, you do too... but um, I just wanted to know, do you know somebody named... you know his name
— Oh yeah, definitely. I know his name
— I just want to let you know that he's mine
— Heh... no no. He's mine

You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

I think it's time we got this straight
Let's sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man - are you insane?

You see I know that you maybe
Just a bit jealous of me
But you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me

You see I tried to hesitate
I didn't wanna say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make
It throught he day ain't that a shame

Maybe you misunderstood
Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that's so good
Because my love is all it took

Must you do the things you do
Keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't it - girl it's true

I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside

You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake

When will you get the picture
You're the past I'm the future
Get away it's my time to shine
And if you didn't know the boy is mine

You can't destroy this love I found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel
What makes you thing that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
That special place in my heart
Cause he was my love right from the start

Not yours
But mine
Not yours
But mine
