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 lineAll I got is this to say
Simple message to relay
Get out of here and just keep away'Coz this man is mine
This man is mine
This man, this man is mineI know the women 'round here recognize something good
Even try to take it if they could
So I'm usin' every little trick I know
Makin' sure that he won't goI put up all my resistance
All you girls you better keep your distance
We don't need no more of your assistanceThis man is mine
This man is mine
This man, this man is mineHe got passion burnin' in his eyes
Steamin' up the night
Always makes me realize
What I done was rightThis man is mine
This man is mine
This man is, this man is mineI'm gonna love him, I'm gonna teach him
I'm gonna tell him, I'm gonna reach him
I'm gonna love him, I'm gonna teach him
I'm gonna tell him, I'm gonna reach him
I'm gonna love him, I'm gonna teach him
I'm gonna tell him, I'm gonna reach him
I'm gonna love him, I'm gonna teach him
I'm gonna tell him, I'm gonna reach him
