Object of Obsession
Ana Popovic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that I don't think about you
About what you do to me baby
what you make me wanna do
Want it or not
I'm in your possession
I'll try any way I can
You're my one and only taboo
baby you're my latest fashion
you're an institution of cool
no doubt about it
You make me wanna want you
make me wanna care
Make me wanna need you
almost night and day
I've got a confession to make
and I'm letting you know
If I ever get my hands on you babe
I'll never let you go
You're my satin nights flavor
you're my latest fashion
you're an institution of cool
no doubt about it
Now I know what's longing
and that it's never gonna end
All these sudden feelings for you
I need to comprehend
I don't wanna let you go
I don't ever wanna leave
You and all your preaching
yeah that's what I believe
You're my satin nights flavor
you're my latest fashion
you're an institution of cool
no doubt about it
There's a part of me that's longing
you to be here with me
I don't know what is really
happening to me
I really want you to be mine
well, baby when the time comes
ooh, baby, when the time is right

Want it or not
Whether you want it or not
I'm in your possession
You have control over me
I'll try any way I can
I'll do anything to get your attention
