The Girl Is Mine
D.J. In The Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well she's been gone many days now
She's been gone quite some time
It ain't the same, it never will be
Since I lost that girl of mine

I stayed too long by the river
I stayed too long, there's no doubt
I took a chance was pretty risky
When I came back I found out

Oh girl of mine, come back to me
Girl of mine, come back please
Girl of mine, come back to me
Can't you see I'm on my knees

Now she's been gone many days now
She's been gone, there's no doubt
I took a chance was pretty risky
When I came back I found out

Oh girl of mine, come back to me
Girl of mine, come back please
Girl of mine, come back to me




Can't you see I'm on my knees
Can't you see I'm on my knees

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.
