Possession of your possessions, I do believe is nine tenths of the law
You better hold on tight to what you’ve got
Before that woman ain’t 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 nothing’s 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, I’d still be a richer man
But for what you can’t pacify me, the only one thing that I need
You’re trying your luck, you ain’t giving up
Can’t you see that what’s taken is what you’re trying to take from me
Possession has got a hold of me
Can’t you see that what’s taken is what you’re 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, he’s walking on over
I know what is happening before it’s begun
He wastes no time to get started
It’s happening right in front of me
Oh he shakes my hand, don’t he understand that tonight
You know she’s coming home with me
Possession has got a hold on me, oh yeah
Oh can’t you see that what’s taken is what you’re trying to take from me
Oh can’t you see that what’s taken is what you’re trying to take from me
Oh possession has got a hold on me
