LYRICS:

Mercedes:
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?

Santana:
Uh-huh. Sure. You know, you look kind of familiar.

Mercedes:
Yeah, you do too.
But I'm, I just wanted to know, do you know somebody named...
Heh, you know his name.

Santana:
Oh yeah, definitely. I know his name.

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

Santana:
Mmh, no, no, he's mine.

Mercedes (with Santana):
You need to (give it up)
Had about (enough)
It's not hard (to see)

Mercedes and Santana:
The boy is mine

Mercedes (with Santana):
I'm sorry (that you)
Seem to be (confused)
He belongs (to me)

Mercedes and Santana:
The boy is mine

Mercedes:
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?

Santana:
You see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
'Cause you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me

Mercedes:
You see I tried to hesitate
I didn't wanna say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make
It through the day; ain't that a shame?

Santana:
Maybe you misunderstood
'Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna take his time and that's so good
But all my love is all it took

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

Santana:
Must you do the things you do
You 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

Mercedes:
I think that you should realize,
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside.

Santana:
You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take.
From the truth, you can't escape,
I can tell the real from the fake.

Mercedes:
When will you get the picture,
You're the past, I'm the future.
Get away it's my time to shine,
And if you didn't know the boy is mine

New Directions Girls:

Santana with New Directions Girls:
You can't destroy this love I found,
You're silly games I won't allow,
The boy is mine without a doubt,
You might as well throw in the towel.

What makes you think that he wants you,
When I'm the one who brought him to
This special place that's in my heart,
Cause he was my love right from the start.
