Jean Shepard Lyrics
"Take Possession"

(Tompall Glaser - Helen Marrell)

You can take possession darling
When I hear you say I do
When you slip a 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
Dor I'll still be old fashioned kind.

You can take possession darling
When I hear you say I do
When you slip a ring on my finger
Take possession, I belong to you.

--- Instrumental ---

When you take me in your arms each night
And you say what I want to know
We can 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 darling
When I hear you say I do
When you slip a ring on my finger
Take possession, I belong to you...
