the boy is mine – clean, simplified

How can it be, you and me
might be meant to be,
can’t unsee it.
But I don’t wanna cause no scene,
I’m usually so unproblematic
so independent.
Tell me why
‘cause the boy is mine, mine

Somethin’ about him
is made for somebody like me.
Baby come over, come over.
And God knows I’m tryin’,
but there’s just no use in denying.

The boy is mine,
I can’t even cry, hmm.
Ge-get dressed to the nines,
the stars they aligned,
the boy is mine.

Watch me check the time,
I can’t believe my mind.
The boy is divine,
boy is mine.

Please know this ain’t what I planned for,
probably wouldn’t bet a dime or my life on,
there’s gotta be a reason why.
My girls, they always come through
in a sticky situation,
say “It’s fine,”
happens all the time…

Somethin’ about him
is made for somebody like me.
Baby come over, come over.
And God knows I’m tryin’,
but there’s just no use in denying.

The boy is mine,
I can’t even cry, hmm.
Ge-get dressed to the nines,
the stars they aligned,
the boy is mine.

Watch me check the time,
I can’t believe my mind.
The boy is divine,
boy is…

And I know it’s simply meant to be
And I,
I take full accountability for all these years.
Promise you I’m not usually
like this,
guess it’s like news to me, to me.
But I can’t ignore my heart, boy.

The boy is mine,
I can’t even cry, hmm.
Ge-get dressed to the nines,
the stars they aligned,
the boy is mine.

Watch me check the time,
I can’t believe my mind.
The boy is divine,
boy is mine.
