Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are an obsession, I cannot sleep
I am a possession unopened at your feet
There's no balance, no equality
Be still, I will not accept defeat
[Verse 2]
I will have you, yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you
[Verse 3]
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
[Verse 4]
I feed you, I drink you by day and by night
I need you, I need you by sun and candlelight
You protest, you want to leave
Stay, oh, there's no alternative
[Verse 5]
Your face appears again, I see the beauty there
But I see danger, stranger, beware
A circumstance in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems
[Verse 6]
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
[Verse 7]
My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness has turned to badness
My need to possess you has consumed my soul
My life is trembling, I have no control
[Verse 8]
I will have you, yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you
[Verse 9]
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
[Verse 10]
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
[Verse 11]
You are an obsession
[Verse 12]
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
