1. Here she comes walkin' down the street,

C

you know she's walkin' just like

D Em

she's walkin' to come and see me.

C Em

Oh, she's so young and she's so fine,

C

I know what's on your mind, know what you want to do,

Em

but if you mess with her I'm gonna mess with you.

C D

You better watch your step, you better stay in line !

G Em

This little girl is mine, oh-oh, this little girl is mine !

C D Em D

Oh-oh, this little girl, this little girl, this little girl is mine !

2. Well, if the world was mine to do with what I want to do, sir,

C D Em G

well, I'd wrap it up in a bow and give it all to her, yeah,

C Em

and all my love, all of the time !

C

You know I'd hold her tight, I'd never let her go,

Em

and late at night you know I'd love her so.

C D

Yeah, I'd treat her right, so she'd never mind !

G Em

This little girl is mine, oh-oh, this little girl is mine !

Oh-oh, this little girl, this little girl, this little girl is mine !

3. Hey, you better watch out, I'm telling you the score :

C D Em

Are you going to be sweepin' your broken heart up off the floor ?

C Em

Oh, and that ain't all, I'm telling you, my friend,

C

I know what's on your mind, know what you wanna do,

Em

but if you mess with her, I'm gonna mess with you !

C

You like the way she moves, you like to watch her walk,

Em

you better listen up 'cause man this ain't just talk.

C D

You better watch your step, you better stay in line !
