I know you want me back again,

My new love smiles at me… and then

Possession – takes control,

You want me to say I’m yours

When I was down you wouldn’t cry with me,

When I was up you wouldn’t fly with me,

Possession – nothing more,

You want me to say I’m yours

CH: When I was out, you’d follow me around

When I was in, you could not be found

You wore me like a little gold chain

You even wanted me to take your name

You never tried to keep me from harm

You just tried to keep me from someone else’s arms

Just like Columbus on the Hispañola shore

You want me to say I’m yours

CH2: You paraded me before your friends

When the game came on you sent me home again

You wore me like a little gold chain

You even wanted me to take your name.

This ain’t no sentimental thing,

I have found a truth deep within,

Possession – it’s the original sin,

I’m never going to say I’m yours.

I never ever ever never want to hear I’m yours.
