Possession Obsession Songtext
von Daryl Hall & John Oates

You know there′s something you need
Right here and now
To fill the space inside of yourself, oh
With money, love or power
When you want to have the number one, first-run anyone
You're crazy ′til you own them, mmh
You ought to know better than that, girl
The more that you buy, the less you get back

You could say it's a case of possession obsession
Just a taste of possession obsession (mmh)
Brings a case of possession
I hear you say, "Gimme, gimme
Now gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
Gimme, gimme, yeah"


The compulsion to count, the percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
Can turn an hour into a crime, oh
All the good times suffer
Though you know it's only jealousy, but you can′t help but be
Haunted by your passion, mmh
Now, don′t you know it's a matter of fact?
The more that you take, the less you give back

I can say it′s a case of possession obsession
Just a taste of possession obsession (mmh)
Brings a case of possession
I hear you say, "Gimme, gimme
Now gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
Gimme, gimme, yeah" (possession)
Ooh, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, hey-hey
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Ooh, it's a case of possession obsession
Just a taste of possession obsession (oh)
That brings a case of possession
But I hear you say, yeah-yeah (possession)
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, mmh-mmh


Obsession
In possession, oh, in possession, oh
Gimme some, gimme some, ayy-ayy
Just a taste of possession obsession
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah-yeah
Gimme some, gimme some

Obsession
It′s a case of, just a case of
It's a case of possession obsession I have
Gotta get my hands on it, mmh-mmh
Possession
In possession, oh, gimme some
And, oh, and I'm in a high, you know I′m in a high
Obsession (gimme, gimme)
