Possession of your possessions, I do believe is nine tenths of the law
You better hold on tight to what youâve got
Before that woman ainât your woman no more
Turn your back just for a second, somebody trying to steal her away
Ready or not they want what you got
And nothingâs gonna stand in their way
You could take all of my money, the keys to my car right outta my hand
Because it makes no matter without that stuff, Iâd still be a richer man
But for what you canât pacify me, the only one thing that I need
Youâre trying your luck, you ainât giving up
Canât you see that whatâs taken is what youâre trying to take from me
Possession has got a hold of me
Canât you see that whatâs taken is what youâre trying to take from me
Possession has got a hold on me
So we shoot a little pool in the back room
I still got her taste on the tip of my tongue
I see a man, heâs walking on over
I know what is happening before itâs begun
He wastes no time to get started
Itâs happening right in front of me
Oh he shakes my hand, donât he understand that tonight
You know sheâs coming home with me
Possession has got a hold on me, oh yeah
Oh canât you see that whatâs taken is what youâre trying to take from me
Oh canât you see that whatâs taken is what youâre trying to take from me
Oh possession has got a hold on me
