You are an obsession 
I cannot sleep 
I am your possession 
Unopened at your feet 
There's no balance 
No equality 
Be still I will not accept defeat 

I will have you 
Yes, I will have you 
I will find a way and I will have you 
Like a butterfly 
A wild butterfly 
I will collect you and capture you 

You are an obsession 
You're my obsession 
Who do you want me to be 
To make you sleep with me 
You are an obsession 
You're my obsession 
Who do you want me to be 
To make you sleep with me 

I feed you I drink you 
My day and my night 
I need you I need you 
By sun or candlelight 
You protest 
You want to leave 
Stay 
Oh, there's no alternative 

Your face appears again 
I see the beauty there 
But I see danger 
Stranger beware 
A circumstance 
In your naked dreams 
Your affection is not what it seems 

You are an obsession 
You're my obsession 
Who do you want me to be 
To make you sleep with me 
You are an obsession 
You're my obsession 
Who do you want me to be 
To make you sleep with me 

My fantasy has turned to madness 
And all my goodness 
Has turned to badness 
My need to possess you 
Has consumed my soul 
My life is trembling 
I have no control 

I will have you 
Yes, I will have you 
I will find a way and I will have you 
Like a butterfly 
A wild butterfly 
I will collect you and capture you 

You are an obsession 
You're my obsession 
Who do you want me to be 
To make you sleep with me 
You are an obsession 
You're my obsession 
Who do you want me to be 
To make you sleep with me
