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

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

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
