Lyrics
[Verse 1]
ah, yeah
mmm, mmm
[Verse 2]
how can it be? you and me
might be meant to be, can't unsee it
but i don't wanna cause no scene
i'm usually so unproblematic, so independent
tell me why
'cause the boy is mine-ine
[PreChorus]
something about him is made for somebody like me
baby, come over, come over
and god knows i'm trying, but there's just no use in denying
[Chorus]
the boy is mine
i can't wait to try 'em, le-let's get intertwined
the stars, they aligned
the boy is mine
watch me take my time
i can't believe my mind
the boy is divine-ine-ine-ine
boy is mine
[Verse 3]
please know this ain't what i planned for
probably wouldn't bet a dime or my life on
there's gotta be a reason why
my girls, they always come through in a sticky situation
say it's fine
fine
happens all the ti-ime
[PreChorus]
something about him is made for somebody like me
baby, come over, come over
and god knows i'm trying, but there's just no use in denying
[Chorus]
the boy is mine
i can't wait to try 'em, le-let's get intertwined
the stars, they aligned
the boy is mine
watch me take my time
i can't believe my mind
the boy is divine-ine-ine-ine
boy is mine
[Bridge]
and i know that this is meant to be, and i
i'll show you accountability and empathy and sympathy
how could you still be so disillusioned after all of this time, time?
i told you once before, i'll tell you once more, the boy is still mine, mine
[Bridge]
yeah
said he wanna make plans with me
but i don't fuck with affairs, you see
i know
but listen, what they say to me
"if it ain't broke, then it can't be broken"
be broke
well, he better sort out his business
i know
'cause i'll never be nobody's mistress
i know, i know, i know
but i can't ignore my heart
[Chorus]
the boy is mine
i can't wait to try 'em, le-let's get intertwined
the stars, they aligned
the boy is mine
watch me take my time
i can't believe my mind
the boy is divine-ine-ine-ine
the boy is mine
mine
[Outro]
i can't wait to try 'em, le-let's get intertwined
the stars, they aligned
the boy is mine
watch me take my time
i can't believe my mind
the boy is divine-ine-ine-ine
the boy is mine
