Jean Shepard Lyrics
"Possession Is Nine-Tenths of the Law"

(Ronny Robinson - Carol Babcock)

You love her I know but I won't let you go
I just won't step out of the way
'Cause you're married to me and I won't set you free
Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say.

I'll keep you as long as I possibly can
You were mine before she came our way
I refused to abide and I won't step aside
Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say.

Forgive me for being so selfish
But for me there's just no other way
I just want to hold on do what's rightfully mine
Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say.

--- Instrumental ---

Forgive me for being so selfish
But for me there's just no other way
I just want to hold on do what's rightfully mine
Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say...
