The Girl Is Mine
The New Merseysiders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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)
(Michael)
Well I Love You Endlessly
(Loving We Will Share)
(Michael & Paul)
So Come And Go With Me
Two On The Town
(Michael)
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
(Paul)
Don't Build Your Hopes To Be Let Down
'Cause I Really Feel It's Time
(Michael)
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
(Michael & Paul)
She's Mine (She's Mine)
No, No, No She's Mine
(The Girl Is Mine) The Girl Is Mine

We're Not Going To Fight About This, Okay
(Michael)
Paul, I Think I Told You
I'm A Lover Not A Fighter
(Paul)
I've Heard It All Before, Michael
She Told Me That
I'm Her Forever Lover, You Know
Don't You Remember
(Michael)
Well, After Loving Me
She Said She Couldn't Love Another
(Paul)
Is That What She Said
(Michael)
Yes, She Said It
You Keep Dreaming
(Paul Sings)
I Don't Believe It
(Michael & Paul)
[Mine, Mine

The New Merseysidersβ song The Girl Is Mine is a classic tale of two men fighting over the same woman. The lyrics are sung in a call-and-response style between Paul and Michael, with each trying to assert their claim over the titular girl. The repetitive chorus emphasizes how both men believe the girl in question belongs to them, with the repeated refrain βThe doggone girl is mineβ becoming a well-known phrase from the song.
The lyrics also touch on themes of jealousy and insecurity, with both men trying to prove that they are the better choice for the girl. Paul accuses Michael of wasting his time with gifts and empty romantic gestures, while Michael insists that he loves her more than Paul ever could. The song ends with both men still trying to stake their claim, but ultimately acknowledging that only one of them can have her.
Overall, The Girl Is Mine is a catchy and memorable song that showcases The New Merseysidersβ unique blend of pop and R&B. The lyrics are a classic example of the love triangle trope in popular music, and the call-and-response style adds an extra layer of drama to the proceedings.
