Don't Mess with My Girl (ver. 2) She's all that I got But doesn't believe what she's worth Her soul is afraid Hiding down, deep in the dirt She just cannot deal With people who push her around That's where I come in I help her to stand her ground Hang me up by the scruff upon my neck Slap my cheeks till they turn a purple-red Do anything that you got to do to me Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl I don't like to fight But I got to correct this wrong You treated her bad I'm starting to get pissed off ??? ??? Float your boat by most any means you like Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl

Don't Mess with My Girl (ver. 3) My girl doesn't see How valuable she is to me Hiding her head As ostriches do sometimes She's easily spooked Like people who make lots of sound That's where I come in I help her to stand her ground Hang me up by the scruff upon my neck Slap my cheeks till they turn a purple-red Do anything that you got to do to me Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl I don't like to fight But I got to amend this wrong You treated her badly I'm starting to feel my oaths Threaten me with a turkey-carving knife I am ready to lay down my life and die You can do what you gotta do to me But don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl She's all that I got

Don't Mess with My Girl (ver. 30) Impounding her dreams Banning her anime And why all of this? 'Cause you think she's playing games I'll show you games You'll wish you had never played Actually, I won't I hate when I hesitate You got a fresh technique, that much is true You set the bar up high and she approves But, seriously, can you chill a little bit? Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl The root and the gist Is my own ambition and greed She doesn't care If she fails or she succeeds I just want what is helpful for my girl So someday she will make it in the world But, seriously, can you chill a little bit? Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl Don't mess with my girl (Don't mess around) Don't mess with my girl (Don't mess around) Don't mess with my girl She's all that I got
