She’s a.....

What is mine is always hers

You know hers is always mine
What is hers is always mine

What is mine is always hers
What is mine is always hers

And you know, you know that pretty little thing
Is mine, is mine, is mine.......because
My baby
She’s a breadwinner
She takes care of everything
