[Verse 1: Livingston Taylor]
Every night she walks right in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I'm so lucky I'm the only one
Who is special in her heart
[Chorus: Livingston Taylor & Ben Taylor]
The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
I know she's mine
The doggone girl is mine
[Verse 2: Ben Taylor]
I can'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: Livingston Taylor & Ben Taylor]
'Cause she's mine, all mine
The doggone girl is mine
Please, don't waste your time, no
The doggone girl is mine
[Bridge: Livingston Taylor & Ben Taylor]
I love you more than he
(Take you anywhere)
But I love you endlessly
(Loving we can share)
Come and go with me to one town
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
[Verse 3: Livingston Taylor & Ben Taylor]]
Don't build your hopes to be let down
'Cause I really feel it's time
I know she'll tell you I am the one
Because she said I blow her mind
[Chorus: Livingston Taylor & Ben Taylor]
The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
Oh, don't waste your time
Simply, the doggone girl is mine
[Post-Chorus: Livingston Taylor & Ben Taylor]
The girl is mine (The girl is mine, all mine)
The girl is mine (Talkin' 'bout the girl is mine)
The girl is mine (Talkin' 'bout the girl is mine)
I'm talkin' 'bout the girl is mine
Simply, simply, the girl is mine (All mine)
[Interlude: Livingston Taylor & Ben Taylor]
You know, Ben (What's that?)
She told me you and she had been out together and that she had a wonderful time
Yeah, being with you was just like being with her little brother
No, I bet she never had such fun with little brother
But it's coincidental, 'cause she told me you reminded her of her old high school history teacher
[Outro: Livingston Taylor]
Ow, I don't believe it
The girl is mine
The girl is mine
I'd like to tell you that the girl is mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, I don't believe it
Mine, mine
Mine, mine, I don't believe it
Mine, mine
