The Girl Is Mine
Easy Star All-Stars [feat. Mojo Morgan & スティール・パルス] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night she walks right in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I'm so proud I am the only one
Who is special in her heart

The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
I know she's mine

Because the doggone girl is mine

I don't understand the way you think
Saying that she's yours not mine
Sending roses and your silly dreams
Really just a waste of time

Because she's mine
The doggone girl is mine
Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine

I love you more than he (Take you anywhere)
But I love you endlessly (Loving we will share)
So come and go with me to one town

But we both cannot have her
So it's one or the other
And one day you'll discover
That she's my girl forever and ever

I don't build your hopes to be let down
'Cause I really feel it's time
I know she'll tell you I'm the one for her
'Cause she said I blow her mind

The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine

She's mine, she's mine
No, no, no, she's mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine

The girl is mine (Mine, mine)
Yep, she's mine (Mine, mine)
The girl is mine (Mine, mine)
Yep, she's mine (Mine, mine)

Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine
The girl is mine

Michael, we're not going to fight about this, okay?
Paul, I think I told you, I'm a lover not a fighter

I've heard it all before, Michael
She told me that I'm her forever lover
You know, don't you remember?

Well, after loving me, she said she couldn't love another
Is that what she said?
Yes, she said it, you keep dreaming

I don't believe it (Mine, mine)
No
The girl is mine (Mine, mine, mine)

No mine
No mine (Mine, mine, mine)
She is mine, mine, mine, mine, mine (Mine, mine, mine)

The girls is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
No girl is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
The girl is mine
The girl is mine

Girl is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
No she is mine

Overall Meaning

In the song "The Girl is Mine" by Easy Star All-Stars feat. Mojo Morgan & スティール・パルス, the lyrics depict a love triangle between two individuals who are both claiming that they have the girl's heart. The lyrics express the singer's belief that he is the only one who truly holds a special place in the girl's heart and that she belongs to him.

The first verse establishes the singer's strong emotional connection with the girl, as he reveals that she appears in his dreams every night and that he feels proud to be the only one who is special to her. The repetition of "the girl is mine" emphasizes the singer's possessiveness and determination to claim her.

In the second verse, the singer directly addresses his competition, dismissing their attempts to win the girl over with gifts and empty promises. He believes that their efforts are futile and a waste of time because he knows deep down that she is his and theirs are just illusions.

The third verse delves deeper into the conflict between the two contenders for the girl's affections. The singer expresses his strong feelings of love for her, proclaiming that he would do anything for her. He acknowledges that only one of them can ultimately have her, projecting confidence that it will be him in the end.

The final verse features a conversation between two unnamed characters, likely representing Michael (one of the contenders) and Paul. Michael asserts that the girl has told him that he is her forever lover, while Paul insists that she said the same thing to him. The dialogue creates a sense of uncertainty and tension, suggesting that the truth may be subjective and that both contenders may be holding onto false hopes.

Overall, "The Girl is Mine" delves into themes of love, possessiveness, and competition, illustrating the ambiguity and complexity of relationships. It highlights the universal desire to be chosen by someone we love and the challenges that arise when multiple parties vye for the same person's affection.
