He's Mine
MoKenStef Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He might be doin' you, but he's thinkin' about me
So lady, think about another lover and go find another brother
I know he's my man, he's all in my hands
It feels good when he calls my name
Don't you wish you had the same?
Feeling disgust workin' your stuff
'Til he thinks about mine, now he's feeling real high
You ask why, 'cause he's mine
Tell you something that just ain't cool
Never fall in love with a man who don't love you
Oh, I wouldn't waste my time telling you something wrong
You been with him one night and now he's coming home

He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time (you can't sleep at night)
He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time (don't try to dry your eyes)
He's mine
You may of had him once
But I got him all the time (I got him all the time)

Went out on a date, wasn't out too late
Took you to a room and you gave it up too soon
Played you like a trick, 'cause you let him hit
Now he's coming home to a lover that is strong

I got all his love, baby, don't try to take it
You wanted a piece, you were mistaken
'Cause he belongs to me, baby, can't you see?
I tell you something that just ain't cool
Never fall in love with a man who don't love you, oh
I wouldn't waste my time telling you something wrong
You've been with him one night, now he's coming home

He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time (he's mine)
He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time (he's mine)
He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time (he's mine)
He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time

We don't have time, playing these games
You had him once, but it's me on his mind
No need to cry, go dry your eyes
Get over it, it was only for one night, ooh yeah

He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time
He's mine, he's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time (don't try to dry your eyes)
He's mine (ooh, ooh)
He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time
He's mine
You might have had him once
But I got him all the time

Overall Meaning

MoKenStef's song "He's Mine" is a soulful R&B tune that explores the nature of a tumultuous love triangle. The song's narrator asserts her dominion over her man in the face of another woman's advances. She is aware of his infidelity but remains confident in his unwavering love for her. The verses are a warning to the other woman, as the singer cautions her to move on and find another man. The choruses are a declaration of ownership, as the singer reaffirms her connection to her man and reminds the other woman that he belongs to her. The song is a testament to the power of female intuition in matters of the heart, and to the resilience of love in the face of outside interference.


One of the most interesting things about "He's Mine" is its legacy as a feminist anthem. The song was released in 1995 during a wave of empowerment for women in music. MoKenStef's blunt and unapologetic lyrics struck a chord with female listeners who were tired of being objectified and undermined by men. The song became a hit, reaching number two on the U.S. R&B chart, and earned MoKenStef a loyal following of fans who saw them as trailblazers for women in music. "He's Mine" also paved the way for other R&B girl groups like Destiny's Child and TLC to tackle themes of female empowerment and self-reliance in their music.


Another interesting fact about "He's Mine" is its sampling of the classic James Brown song "The Payback." MoKenStef incorporated the iconic guitar riff and drum beat from "The Payback" into their song as a way of paying tribute to the godfather of soul. The sample adds a funky and rhythmic element to "He's Mine," and gives the song a timeless quality that has helped it endure over the years. Additionally, the song's catchy refrain of "he's mine" has been referenced or parodied in numerous other songs, movies, and TV shows over the years, making it a pop culture staple.

Lyrics:
He might be doing you
彼は貴方としているかもしれません
But he's thinkin' about me
でも、彼は私の事を考えているの
So lay that finger on another lover
だから、別の恋人を指に置いて
And go find another brother
そして、別の兄弟を見つけに行くの
I know he's my man
私は彼が私の男であることを知っている
He's holding my hand
彼は私の手を握ってくれるの
It feels good when he calls my name
彼が私の名前を口にするのが心地いいわ
Don't you wish you had the same
貴方が同じことを望んでいても
Feeling disgust workin' yo' stuff
罪悪感を感じるだけよ
Till he thinks about mine
彼が私のことを考え
Now he's feeling real high
今彼は本当に興奮しています
You ask why
貴方は『なんで?』と尋ねた
Cause he's mine
それはね、彼は私のものだからよ
Tell you something that just aint cool
クールじゃないことを教えるね
Never fall in love with a man who don't love you
貴方を愛していない男性と
貴方は恋を落ちることはないの
I wouldn't waste my time telling you something wrong
私は間違ったことを言って
時間を無駄にしたりはしないわ
You been with him one night and now he's
coming home
貴方は彼と一晩一緒にいたけど、
彼は今私のもとに帰るの



He's mine
彼は私のものよ
You may have had him once
貴方は彼を一度持って行ったかもしれません
But I got him all the time
しかし、私はいつも彼を手に入れてる

(repeat 3xs)

You went out on a date
貴方はデートに出かけました
You wasn't out too late
貴方は遅れませんでした
He took you to a room
彼は貴方を部屋に連れてき、
And you gave it up too soon
貴方はすぐにそれを諦めました
Played you like a trick
貴方にイタズラをしました
Cause you let him hit
貴方は彼にヒットさせた原因
Now he's coming home to a lover that is strong
今、彼は愛の強い恋人のもとへ家に帰りました
I got all his love baby don't try to take it
私は彼のすべての愛を手に入れたの
You wanted a piece
貴方はピースが欲しかった
You were mistaken
貴方は間違っていたの
Cause he belongs to me
だって、彼は私のものだから
Baby can't you see
ベイビー、見えないの?
I'll tell you something that just aint cool
私が貴方のクールじゃないところを
教えてあげる
Never fall in love with a man who don't love you
貴方を愛していない男性とは
決して恋には落ちないの
I wouldn't waste my time telling you something wrong
私は何か間違ったことを
言って時間を無駄にしないわ
You been with him one night, now he's coming home
貴方は彼と一晩一緒にいたけど、彼は私の元に帰るの

So baby think about another lover
And go find another brother.
