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
