The Girl is the Realest
Jackson 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, (yep) she's mine
The girl is mine, (yep) she's mine

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





The girl is mine (mine, mine, mine)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Jackson's "The Girl is Mine" are about two men having a dispute over a girl. In the song, Jackson expresses his love for the girl and claims that she is his. He goes on to tell the other man not to waste his time because the girl is his. The other man, who is not named in the song, disagrees and says that the girl is his. The two men continue to argue over the girl throughout the song.


However, in the end, Jackson seems to come to a compromise with the other man. He suggests that they both take the girl to one town, but in the end, they will have to choose who she ends up with. The song conveys the message that sometimes we cannot have everything we want, and we must learn to accept that fact.


Overall, the lyrics of the song demonstrate that it is possible to love someone while also respecting their choices and boundaries. In this case, despite the tension between the two men, they both care for the girl and ultimately want what's best for her.
