Lyrics
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, mm
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
(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
Don't build your hopes to be let down
'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
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)
Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine
The girl is mine
Michael, we're not going to fight about this, okay?
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)
