Monica
Excuse me do I know you cause uhh, you know you look kinda familiar?

Brandy
Yeah, you do too but, umm, I just wanted to know do you know somebody named you, you know his name.

Monica
Oh, yeah definitely I know his name.

Brandy
I just wanted to let you know he's mine.

Monica
Huh..no no, he's mine.

(chorus)
You need to give it up.
Had about enough.
It's not hard to see, the boy is mine.
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Brandy
I think it's time we got this straight
let's sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
him for your man - are you insane?

Monica
See I know that you may be
just a bit jealous of me.
But you're blind If you can't see
that his love is all in me.

Brandy
You see I try to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make
it through the day, ain't that a shame.

Monica
Maybe your misunderstood
Cause I can't see how he could
wanna change something that's so good
Because my love was all it took.

(Chorus)

Monica
Must you do the things you do
keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it girl, it's true.

Brandy
I think that you should realize
I'm trying to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside.

Monica
You can say what you want to say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake.

Brandy
When will you get the picture
Your the past I'm the future
Get away it's my time to shine
if you didn't know the boy is mine.

(chorus x2)

Monica
You can't destroy this love I've found
Your silly games I won't allow
the boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel.
Brandy
What makes you think that he wants you
when I'm the one that brought him to
special places in my heart
Cause he was my love from the start

(chorus x2)

Monica
Not yours!

Brandy
But mine!

(repeat x3)

(chorus)
