Lyrics

You need to give it up; I’ve had a bout e (Am9)nough.

It’s not hard to see the boy is (Dm7)mine.

I’m sor ry that you

seem to be con (Am9)fused.

He be longs to me; the boy is (Dm7)mine.

Think it’s time we got this straight; we’ll sit and talk ing face to (Am9)face.

There is no way you could mis take him for you your n’t man.

Are you in (Dm7)sane?

You see, I know that you may be just a bit jeal ous of (Am9)me, but you’re blind if you can’t see that know his love is all in (Dm7)me.

See, I tried to you hes i tate; I did n’t want to say what he told (Am9)me, he said with out me he could n’t make it through tell the day.

Ain’t that a (Dm7)shame?

but may be you mis get un der stood ’cause I can’t see I’m how he (Am9)could want to tell you some thing that’s so good, for you my n’t love is all it (Dm7)took.

You need to give it up; I’ve had a bout e (Am9)nough.

It’s not hard to see the boy is (Dm7)mine.

I’m sor ry that you

seem to be con (Am9)fused.

He be longs to me; the boy is (Dm7)mine.

Must you do the things you do?

You keep on act ing like a (Am9)fool.

You need to know it’s me, not you, and if you did n’t know it, girl, it’s (Dm7)true.

I think that you should re al ize and try to un der stand (Am9)why he is part if of my life.

I know it’s kill ing you in (Dm7)side.

You can say what you wan na say, I what n’t we to have what you can’t (Am9)take.

he From with the truth you can’t es cape.

I can tell the real Ain’t from the (Dm7)fake.

but When be will you get the pic ture?

You’re the past and I’m the fu (Am9)ture.

Get a way, it’s my thing time to shine.

If you did n’t know, the boy is (Dm7)took.

You need to give it (Dm7)mine.

You need to give it

You need to give it up; I’ve had a bout e (Am9)nough.

It’s not hard to see; the boy is (Dm7)mine.

I’m sor ry that you

seem to be con (Am9)fused.

He be longs to me; the boy is (Dm7)mine.

You need to give it up; I’ve had a bout e (Am9)nough.

It’s not hard to see; the boy is (Dm7)mine.

I’m sor ry that you

seem to be con (Am9)fused.

He be longs to me; the boy is (Dm7)mine.

You need to give it me.

(CN.C.)The boy is mine.
