[Chorus]
My obsessions are your possessions
Every piece that I can get
My obsessions are your possessions
'Til my mouth is soaking wet
I think I blew it now, confession

[Verse 1]
You can't dodge it, it's simple logic
You'd be better off with me
And you'll know it when you lost it
Know it

[Chorus]
My obsessions are your possessions
Are you smiling on my way
My obsessions are your possessions
One that you should give away
Give it to me now, I've no objection

[Verse 2]
I don't mind if it's unkind
And it's not my property
But I want it just to be mine
Exclusively

[Bridge]
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby, aah

[Verse 3]
You need teaching, you're a girl
There are things in this world
That need teaching with discretion
My profession

[Chorus]
My obsessions are your possessions
Are you used to the idea?
My obsessions are your possessions
Do you feel at home right here?
You should relax, it's my impression

[Verse 4]
Didn't see you were so young
I could almost be your son
Please turn in my direction
No objection

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
