[Verse 1]
You love him 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

[Verse 2]
I'll keep you as long as I possibly can
You were mine before he came our way
I refused to abide and I won't step aside
Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say

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

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