Now everybody in this neighborhood

All you women better listen good

I know it's just a matter of time

Till one of you steps out of line

All I got is this to say

Simple message to relay

Get out of here and just keep away

'Cos this man is mine

This man is mine

This man, this man is mine



I know the women round here

Recognize something good

Even try to take it if they could

So I'm using every little trick I know

Making sure that he won't go

I put up all my resistance

All you girls you better keep your distance

We don't need no more of your assistance



This man is mine

This man is mine

This man, this man is mine



He got passion burning in his eyes

Steaming up the night

Always makes me realize

What I done was right



This man is mine

This man is mine

This man, this man is mine

(Gonna love him

Gonna teach him

Gnna tell him

Gonna reach him
