TAKE POSSESSION 
(Tompall Glaser / Helen Marrell)


Jean Shepard - 1969


 

You can take possession, darlin'
When I hear you say "I do"
When you slip the ring on my finger
Take possession, I belong to you

Some folks give away their love too soon
When their feelings make them blind
But I'll wait until my honeymoon
For I'm still the old fashioned kind

You can take possession, darlin'
When I hear you say "I do"
When you slip the ring on my finger
Take possession, I belong to you

(Instrumental Break)

When you take me in your arms each night
And you say what I want to know
We can't let temptation burn too bright
Even though I do love you so

Surely love can wait if love is great
Please protect me when we're alone
Keep the flame of love real low my love
Till my name's the same as your own

You can take possession, darlin'
When I hear you say "I do"
When you slip the ring on my finger
Take possession, I belong to you
