Verse 1:
(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
Verse 2:
(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 she
(Take you anywhere)
(Michael)
But I love you endlessly
(Loving we will share)
(Michael and Paul)
So come and go with me
Two on the 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
Verse 3:
(Paul)
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 and 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, (yes) 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 could'nt love another
(Paul)
Is that what she said
(Michael)
Yes, she said it, you keep dreaming
(Paul, singing)
I don't believe it
(Michael and Paul)
The girl is mine (mine, mine, mine)
(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

The doggone girl is mine
I know she's mine

Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse
To inspire to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
His first goal in life must have been to own a candy store because he loved to play storekeeper. After Joe began giving him and his brothers a weekly allowance, he would spend every cent of it on candy and gum. He’d come home with an armful of it, take a board and two bricks and place them in the doorway to the boys’ bedroom, place a cloth over the board, lay the candy on top of it, and sell it to his brothers and sisters and friends for the same price he’d paid for it.
Michael was also a serious candy-eater and gum-chewer. Before he opened his “store,” he’d save his pennies so that he could purchase bubble gum at the concession stand at the Little League ball park behind our house. One night, however, he couldn’t find his penny for gum and he was so upset he started crying. “Mother, do you know what happened to my penny?” he asked. I knew the answer when I saw Marlon @Marlon_Jackson happily chewing away on a wad of bubble gum nearby.
