Obsession Lyrics

You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am your possession
Unopened at your feet
There's no balance
No equality
Be still I will not accept defeat

I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterly
I will collect you and capture you

CHORUS:
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

I feed you I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight
You protest
You want to leave
Stay
Oh, there's no alternative

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

CHORUS

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

I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterly
I will collect you and capture you

CHORUS

I think this song is very sexy and compelling. Of course, it would only be hot if the right person were singing it to me...

I concur

The lyrics always make me think of Lolita, as though Humbert Humbert were thinking about Lolita and singing it to himself. The "like a butterfly" part especially makes me think so, because Nabokov was a lepidopterist in addition to his other many talents. (I don't think the song was actually written about Lolita, though.)
