Obsession
Mitchell Tenpenny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like candy blue on my tattoos, up and down my arms
I buy too many watches, Jordans fill up my closet
I got a thing about tequila when I drink at the bar
Ooh, if I'm in, I'm all in
Ooh, hundred and ten percent
You bite your lip, you know the way you make me lose it
Second I saw you, you stole all my attention
It's no surprise to me that you would be my new obsession
Your daily habits, yoga mats in the living room
You're kinda messy, but it messes me up so good
My fault if I'm caught watching, everything that moves when you're walking
Can't sober up 'cause I'm drunk off of your perfume
One little kiss and I can't get enough of you when
You bite your lip, you know the way you make me lose it
Second I saw you, you stole all my attention
It's no surprise to me that you would be my new obsession
Oh, my new obsession
Ooh, if I'm in, I'm all in
Ooh, hundred and ten percent
One little kiss and I can't get enough of you when
You bite your lip, you know the way you make me lose it
Second I saw you, you stole all my attention
It's no surprise to me that you would be my new obsession
Oh, my new obsession, oh, yeah (my new obsession)
Oh

The second verse delves deeper into the specific qualities and habits of the person they are obsessed with.
