Lyrics:
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
You're my girl, you're my-
You're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Take a minute girl, come sit down
What's been happening? What's been happening?
Take a minute, take a minute girl
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
Come too far for you to feel alone
Don't let him walk over your heart
We've come too far for you to feel alone
In your face I can see passion
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
Think it's time we got this straight, let's sit and talk face to face
There's no way I could mistake, the girl is mine
Think it's time we got this straight, let's sit and talk face to face
There's no way I could mistake, the girl is mine...
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine
It's not hard to see, the girl is mine

SongFacts:
"The Girl Is Mine" is a song by British electronic music duo 99 Souls. The funky house track is a mashup of Destiny's Child's "Girl" (2004) and Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" (1998) and was released on November 6, 2015 with newly recorded vocals from Brandy. The song reached number five on the UK Singles Chart.
The song was first released in December 2014 and appeared on SoundCloud. While the creators of 99 Souls thought it wouldn't amount to much, the mash-up racked up 2.9 million streams in its first year of release. However, it was later removed due to copyright infringement.
After receiving approval from Brandy and Beyoncé, the song was released commercially in November 2015. The song was supplemented with a newly recorded vocal by Brandy as well as other changes. Although Brandy agreed to record new vocals for the mash-up track, Monica declined the offer with a comment. "I sometimes feel like things that are part of history and in history should be left as such so that they can be maintained with the respect that was given to them back then," she told The Huffington Post. “This is the only song and the only time that [Brandy and I] have both won a Grammy and experienced certain things. So I have a lot of memories and emotions associated with this record.”
On November 20, 2015, a music video for "The Girl Is Mine", directed by Sandl, was released on 99 Souls' Vevo account.
