Lyrics:

[English]

The boy is mine

The boy is mine

The boy is mine

The boy is mine

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

Well, I just want to let you that he's mine

Ha-ha, 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 may be

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

Through the day, ain't that a shame?

But maybe you misunderstood

'Cause I can't see how he could

Wanna change something that's so good

All my love was all it took (the boy is mine)

You need to give it up

Had about enough (enough)

It's not hard to see (oh)

The boy is mine (boy is mine)

I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)

Seem to be confused (confused)

He belongs to me (oh)

The boy is mine

Must you do the things you do?

You keep on acting like a fool

You need to know it's me, not you

And if you didn't know 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

If you didn't know, the boy is mine, oh (the boy is mine)

You need to give it up

Had about enough (enough)

It's not hard to see (to see)

The boy is mine (the boy is mine)

I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)

Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)

He belongs to me (he belongs to me)

The boy is mine (the boy is mine)

You need to give it up (ooh)

Had about enough (had about enough)

It's not hard to see

The boy is mine (he's mine, he's mine, he's mine, he's mine)

I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry)

Seem to be confused (you seem to be confused)

He belongs to me (he belongs to me)

The boy is mine

I can't destroy this love I've 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 think that he wants you

When I'm the one that brought him to

The special places that's in my heart?

He was my love right from the start

You need to give it up (give it on up)

Had about enough (had about enough)

It's not hard to see (it's not hard to see)

The boy is mine (the boy is mine, oh)

I'm sorry that you (I'm sorry that you)

Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)

He belongs to me (he belongs to me)

The boy is mine (no, no)

You need to give it up (you need to give it up)

Had about enough (about enough)

It's not hard to see (it's not hard to see)

The boy is mine (the boy is mine)

I'm sorry that you (mine, oh)

Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)

He belongs to me (he belongs to me)

The boy is mine (the boy is mine)

You need to give it up (not yours)

Had about enough (but mine, not yours)

It's not hard to see (but mine, not yours)

The boy is mine (but mine)

I'm sorry that you

Seem to be confused

He belongs to me

The boy is mine
