Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?

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
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?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 99 Souls' "The Girl Is Mine" feature a conversation between a guy and a girl. The guy asks the girl to take a minute and sit down so they could talk. He tells her that they have come too far for her to feel alone and she shouldn't let the other guy walk over her heart. He can see passion in her face, and he wants her to know that the girl is his, and it's not hard to see.


Later in the song, the guy thinks it's time to clear things up and sit face to face with the other guy. He knows that there's no mistaking that the girl is his. The song ends with the guy again asking the girl if he can talk to her for a minute, emphasizing that the girl is his.


The lyrics are about a guy who wants to make sure that the girl he's interested in knows that she belongs to him, and no one else can have her. The lyrics reflect on the possessiveness of men towards women, and how they sometimes feel like they own them.

+The Vibe Guide Yes, but it still hasn't been released to Spotify. Goodbye, song. I only usually use it for songs.

TheMightyTuxedo / Zanuella In the Netherlands, it has been released on Spotify. 

@thealphakeyboard6951

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.
