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 'Coz 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 usin' every little trick I know

Makin' 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 burnin' in his eyes

Steamin' up the night

Always makes me realize

What I done was right This man is mine

This man is mine

This man is, this man is mine 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

I'm gonna love him, I'm gonna teach him

I'm gonna tell him, I'm gonna reach him
