The Girl Is Mine (Demo) Lyrics

[Intro]
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh

[Verse 1]
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

[Hook]
The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
I know she's mine
Because the doggone girl is mine

[Verse 2]
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

[Hook]
Because she's mine
The doggone girl is mine
Don't waste your timе
Because the doggonе girl is mine
[Verse 3]
I love you more than he
(Take you anywhere)
Well, I love you endlessly
(Loving we will share)
So come and go with me to one town

[Bridge]
But we both cannot have her
So it's one or the other

[Verse 4]
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

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

Oh, yeah, yeah!

[Outro]
Ahh-ahh (Woah)
Ahh-ahh (Yeah)
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh (You know, you know I care)
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh (You know, you know it's me)
Ahh-ahh

Ahh-ahh (Ah yeah)
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh (Ah yeah)
Ahh-ahh

Ahh-ahh (Hoo!)
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

The demo of The Girl Is Mine was first played at the 1993 Mexican deposition to prove that Jackson didn’t copy from others. This version noticeably lacks Paul McCartney.

On 2008, it was released in a single for the remix of the demo.
