Songtexte Possession Obsession (12" Version) - Daryl Hall & John Oates

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

It's a case of possession obsession
Just a taste of possession obsession
Ooh, brings a case of possession obsession
I hear you say gimme, gimme
Now gimme, gimme, gimme (gimme, gimme)

The compulsion to count the percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
Can turn an hour into a crime
All the good times suffer
Though you know it's only jealousy
But you can't help but be haunted by your passion
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
Brings a case of possession obsession
I hear you say gimme, gimme
Now gimme, gimme, gimme (gimme, gimme)
(Possession) Ooh, gimme, gimme (gimme, gimme, gimme)

Ooh, it's a case of possession obsession
Just a taste of possession obsession
Brings a case of (possession)
I hear you say (possession)

Now don't you know it's a matter of fact
The more that you take (gimme some)
The less you get back, yeah
(Obsession) In possession of, in possession of
(Gimme some) gimme some

(Gimme some)
Just a taste of possession obsession
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
(Gimme some) gimme some

(Obsession)
Just a case of possession obsession
