You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Think it's time we got this straight
Sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man, are you insane?

But see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
But you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me

See, I tried to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make
It through the day, ain't that a shame

But maybe you misunderstood
'Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that's so good
When my love was all it took (The boy is mine)

You need to give it up
Had about enough (Enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (Boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (Sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (Confused)
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Must you do the things you do?
You keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it, girl, it's true

I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside

You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake

When will you get the picture?
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away, it's my time to shine
If you didn't know the boy is mine (The boy is mine)

You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine
