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 (over) And God knows I'm tryin', but there's just no use in denying The boy is mine I can't wait to try him Le-let's get intertwined The stars, they aligned The boy is mine Watch me take my 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" (it's fine) Happens all the time Somethin' about him is made for somebody like me Baby, come over, come over (over) And God knows I'm tryin', but there's just no use in denying
