Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
In your face I can see passion
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
You're my girl, you're my
You're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
Think it's time we got this straight, let's sit and talk face to face
There's no way I could mistake, the girl is mine
Think it's time we got this straight, let's sit and talk face to face
There's no way I could mistake, the girl is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
The song "The Girl Is Mine" by 99 SOUL feat. DESTINY'S CHILD is a conversation between two men who are interested in the same woman. The lyrics suggest that they both care about her and want to protect her, but ultimately they are competing for her affection. The first part of the song features one man comforting the woman, reminding her that she is not alone and that he sees her passion. However, the second half of the song shifts to the two men talking face to face and trying to come to an understanding. Despite their attempts to resolve the situation, it is clear that they both see the woman as "the girl is mine."
The repetitive nature of the chorus emphasizes the possessiveness of the two men and their belief that she belongs to one of them. The lyrics "It's not hard to see, the girl is mine" suggest a sense of entitlement and a lack of consideration for the woman's feelings or agency. Overall, the song portrays a toxic dynamic where men feel entitled to the affections of a woman without considering her feelings, thoughts, and opinions.

Oshawott Thanks. I doubt it will be released in the U.K. yet, because I guess it's still in development uploading to different countries first. Thank you anyway.
