Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know there's something you need
Right here and now
To fill the space inside of yourself
Oh, with money, love or power
[Verse 2]
When you want to have
The number one, first-run anyone
You're crazy till you own them
[Verse 3]
You ought to know
Better than that, girl
The more that you buy
The less you get back, you could say
[Verse 4]
It's a case of possession obsession
A just a taste of possession obsession
Brings a case of possession
I hear you say, gimme, gimme
Now gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme
[Verse 5]
The compulsion to count
The percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
Can turn an hour into a crime
Oh-oh, all the good times suffer
[Verse 6]
Though you know it's only jealousy
But you can't help but be
Haunted by your passion
[Verse 7]
Now, don't you know
It's a matter of fact
The more that you take
The less you give back, I can say
[Verse 8]
It's a case of possession obsession
A just a taste of possession obsession
Brings a case of possession
I hear you say, gimme, gimme
Now gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, hey, possession
[Verse 9]
Ooh, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, yay-yay
[Verse 10]
Ooh, It's a case of possession obsession
Just a taste of possession obsession
And brings a case of possession
I hear you say, possession
[Verse 11]
Now, don't you know
It's a matter of fact
The more that you take
Gimme some
The less you give back, yeah-yeah
Mmm, obsession
In possession of, in possession of
Give me some, give me some
[Verse 12]
Just a taste of possession obsession
Gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah yeah-yay
Gimme some, gimme some
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, obsession
It's a case of, just a taste of
It's a case of possession obsession
I gotta get my hands on it
Possession, ooh
