[Intro]
(She's my private property
She belongs to me, don't trespass)
Don't come hanging 'round my girl no more
(She's my private property) I've told you
(She belongs to me, don't trespass)
[Verse 1]
I hold the title in my hand
We took an oath from the preach of man
In self-defense, I protect my claim
Oh, I've given her more than just my main
[Chorus]
(She's my private property
She belongs to me, don't trespass)
I don't know no other way to tell you, mister
(She's my private property
She belongs to me, don't trespass)
Oh, I don't wanna lose her
[Verse 2]
I've got feel for a repeat to defend
I'm gonna be with her 'til the very, very end
I'm the landlord of this property
Oh, can't you see, oh, this girl belongs to me
[Chorus]
(She's my private property) mm-hmm…
(She belongs to me, don't trespass)
Don't you see the red light? You can't stop here tonight
(She's my private property
She belongs to me, don't trespass)
Don't tres, don't tres, don't trespass…
[Bridge]
I stake my claim right on her heart
[Outro]
(She's my private property
She belongs to me, don't trespass)
The case is closed, I hope I don't have to tell you no more
(She's my private property
She belongs to me, don't trespass) mm, mm…
Don't tres, don't tres, don't trespass…
I love her, I need her, I'm never gonna leave her, oh no…
