The Girl Is Mine
Casanova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I sit, in the dark
I wait for her, to ease my heart
Winds of change, took her love away
Give me a chance, give me one more day

Who will kiss away the tears
When you're leaving me that way
Shake me, take me
But don't you turn your back on love
Baby, I can't get enough, no, no

The girl is mine
The dangerous kind
She blows my mind
'Cause the girl is mine

A sucker for love, that's what I'll be
If she comes right back to me, oh!

In my dreams, the hunger grows
You think of me? Nobody knows
You're walking in, you kiss my lips
You drive me mad when you move your hips

Who will kiss away the tears
When you're leaving me that way
Shake me, take me
But don't you turn your back on love
Baby, I can't get enough

The girl is mine
The dangerous kind
The girl is mine, mine, mine
It feels so fine

I pray to you, it is true
You are my ritual
You're all I have, all I want
It's you or die, rock on!

Mine, mine!

The girl is mine
The dangerous kind
She blows my mind
'Cause the girl is mine

The girl is mine, mine, mine
It feels so fine, fine, fine
My lust is blind
'Cause the girl is mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine!




The girl is mine
Yeah! Ooh, yeah! Yeah!
