about

This is the very first track I ever wrote. I was listening to a lot of old songs from the 1920s when I wrote it, so that influences it a little. It's a not-too-serious song about two women competing for one man, although it is based on real-life experiences of toxic former friends who, back in the day, went out of their way to be the ones to get any man showing interest in me and to notice them instead.

lyrics

Look at you, look at you, look at you staring at him
I can see, I can see, I can see you moving in
But he’s mine oh, mine oh, mine oh,
mine oh mine oh…

You’ll never take him away from me no, no, no, no,
I saw him first and I’ll never let him go, no, go, no

But it’s so nice to meet you, you lovely creature,
but he’s mine oh, mine oh
Just keep walking ’cause we’re done with talking
and he’s mine oh, mine oh
mine oh mine oh….

You’ll see he’s mine when I put my arm around him oh, him oh
You won’t be smiling that sharkish grin no more, no, more, no

But it’s so nice to meet you, you lovely creature,
but he’s mine oh, mine oh
Just keep walking ’cause we’re done with talking
and he’s mine oh, mine oh
mine oh mine oh….

She is deceiving, so don’t you believe in her, no, her no
Her and her thieving are ruining my evening,
mine oh, mine oh

She won’t be so happy when I push her down the stairs oh stairs oh
Cover her with honey and feed her to the bears oh, bears oh

But it’s so nice to meet you, you lovely creature,
but he’s mine oh, mine oh
Just keep walking ’cause we’re done with talking
and he’s mine oh, mine oh
mine oh mine oh….

Look at you, look at you, look at you draped over him
look at you, look at you, look at you, just reeling him in
Now I am grieving because you are leaving with her oh, her oh
Mine not mine not mine
Oh
