The Girl Is Mine
Easy Star All-Stars Mojo Morgan Steel Pulse 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

The song "The Girl Is Mine" by Easy Star All-Stars addresses the issue of two men vying for the attention of one girl. The first verse describes how the singer of the song, who is in love with the girl, sees her in his dreams every night. He brags that he is the special one in her heart. The chorus makes it clear that there are two guys fighting over the same girl, but the singer says that he's the one who has won the battle. He says that the girl is his, and that he knows she's his because the "doggone" girl is his.


The second verse responds to the other guy's claims and sends the message that he should stop spending his time and money on the girl because it's just a waste. The bridge reveals a line of persuasion towards the other guy, saying the girl loves the singer more, and he is ready to take her anywhere.


The final section of the song sees the two men coming to a compromise, with the singer declaring that he is not going to fight for the girl because he knows that she is his. The conversation between the two guys at the end conveys a lighthearted tone about their rivalry for the girl.


Overall, the song's message suggests that the girl in the center of the conflict is playing both guys, a theme that is not uncommon in love triangles.

So come and go with me to one town

Both of us cannot have her; one of us has to give up


So it's one or the other
One of us has to be the one who has her love, not both

I don't believe it (Mine, mine)
I don't believe your claims, and I know that she's mine


No
No, I don't agree with you


No mine (Mine, mine, mine)
She is not yours, she is mine!


She is mine, mine, mine, mine, mine (Mine, mine, mine)

No girl is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
She is not a toy to be 'owned'; she belongs to no one


The girl is mine

Girl is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
She belongs to me because she loves me, not you
