Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
You're my girl, you're my
You're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
Think it's time we got this straight, let's sit and talk face to face
There's no way I could mistake, the girl is mine
Think it's time we got this straight, let's sit and talk face to face
There's no way I could mistake, the girl is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
The lyrics to Stevi Swift's "The Girl Is Mine" appear to be about a man who is trying to console a woman who has been hurt by another man. He is encouraging her not to let this other man "walk over her heart" and reminding her that they have come too far for her to feel alone. The chorus repeats the line "It's not hard to see, the girl is mine" multiple times, implying that he is now claiming this woman as his own and standing up to the other man.
The second verse appears to be a continuation of his declaration of ownership over the girl. He says it's time to "get this straight" and talk face to face, because there's no mistaking that she belongs to him. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus and the man asking again for a minute of the girl's time.
Overall, the lyrics have a possessive tone and suggest that the man believes he can offer the woman protection and comfort after she has been hurt by another man. However, it also raises questions about consent and the woman's agency in the situation, as she is never given a chance to speak for herself.

@TaylorSwiftTourExtras
Just to clarify (because I've seen a lot of confused people in this comment section), this concert DID NOT take place in 1989!
"The 1989 World Tour" is simply the NAME OF THE TOUR, not the year it happened. It is very clearly stated in the description that this performance happened in 2015. Any other questions, feel free to ask ;)
