Songwriting-wise, this is another pop-rocker in the vein of “Connection”, but has the most bizarre drum section in Rolling Stones history. Brian Wilson once claimed that this is his favorite song from the band
Here’s an early instrumental take of the tune:

[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus]
My obsessions are your possessions
Every piece that I can get
My obsessions are your possessions
'Til my mouth is soaking wet
I think I blew it now, confession
[Verse 1]
You can't dodge it, it's simple logic
You'd be better off with me
And you'll know it when you lost it
Know it
[Chorus]
My obsessions are your possessions
Are you smiling on my way?
My obsessions are your possessions
One that you should give away
Give it to me now, I've no objection
[Verse 2]
I don't mind if it's unkind
And it's not my property
But I want it just to be mine
Exclusively
[Bridge]
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah
[Verse 3]
You need teaching, you're a girl
There are things in this world
That need teaching with discretion
My profession
[Chorus]
My obsessions are your possessions
Are you used to the idea?
My obsessions are your possessions
Do you feel at home right here?
You should relax, it's my impression
[Verse 4/Outro]
Didn't see you were so young
I could almost be your son
Please turn in my direction
No objection
