The Girl Is Mine

Michael Jackson · History: Past, Present And Future Book I [1995]

[1st Verse (Michael)]

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



[Chorus]

The Girl Is Mine

The Doggone Girl Is Mine

I Know She's Mine

Because The Doggone Girl Is Mine



[2nd Verse (Paul)]

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



[Chorus]

Because She's Mine

The Doggone Girl Is Mine

Don't Waste Your Time

Because The Doggone Girl Is Mine



[Bridge (Paul)]

I Love You More Than He

(Take You Anywhere)



[Michael]

But I Love You Endlessly

(Loving We Will Share)



[Michael & Paul]

So Come And Go With Me

To One 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



[3rd Verse (Paul)]

I 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



[Chorus (Michael)]

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

The Girl Is Mine, The Girl Is Mine



[Paul]

The Girl Is Mine, (Yep) She's Mine

The Girl Is Mine, (Yep) She's Mine



[Michael]

Don't Waste Your Time

Because The Doggone Girl Is Mine

The Girl Is Mine, The Girl Is Mine



[Paul]

Michael, 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]

I Don't Believe It



[Michael & Paul]

The Girl Is Mine (Mine, Mine, Mine)

The Girl Is Mine

Michael Jackson's 'The Girl Is Mine' stands as a defining duet from the 1982 album 'Bad,' featuring Paul McCartney.

The track was produced by Quincy Jones and became a commercial success, peaking at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It remains a staple of Jackson's discography, celebrated for its harmonious blend of styles and its enduring appeal across generations. The song's inclusion on later compilations, such as the 'HIStory' series, underscores its status as a cornerstone of his catalog. Its legacy is cemented not only by its chart performance but also by its role in bridging two of the most influential figures in music history.
