[Ad libbed Intro]
Hey
[Verse 1]
Something's the matter baby, I'm going insane
Something inside of me keeps talkin' to my brain
Why can't I stop this demonic lust?
I know I shouldn't hold you, but my body says I must
[Chorus]
I'm possessed
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm possessed, ooh
I'm stone crazy in love with you, baby
[Verse 2]
Something's the matter baby, you're all I see
Your voice is all I hear beggin' to me
I wish I didn't need you, wish I didn't care
I wish you'd find another soul, your love's too much to bare
[Chorus]
I'm possessed, oh
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm possessed
I'm stone crazy in love with you, baby
[Ad lib]
Does anyone want this body?
[Verse 3]
Something's the matter baby, my mind's in a daze
Trippin' off your love, it's hard to relate
Can't stop this yearnin', Lord knows I've tried
Free me from your spell, I'm much too young to die
[Chorus]
I'm possessed, ooh
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm possessed, ooh
Stone crazy in love with you, baby
Does anyone want this body? Woo!
I'm possessed, yeah!
Stone crazy in love with you, baby
I'm possessed
[Interlude]
Gosh, I love it when the horns blow, everyone watch me dance!
Woo!
Woo!
Possessed
Listen, if you relate to the feeling, let me hear you say yeah!
Say yeah!
Hurt me
Woo!
Now, now, if you relate to the feeling, let me hear you say yeah!
Say yeah!
Alrighty, if you relate to the groove, let me hear you say ooh
Ooh!
Ooh
Ooh!
Oooh
[Breakdown]
P-O-S-S-E-S-S-E-D
P-O-S-S-E-S-S-E-D
P-O-S-S-E-S-S-E-D
P-O-S-S-E-S-S-E-D
[Interlude]
Have you ever had the feeling like someone was tearing you up into little bitty pieces and contemplating selling you for a jigsaw puzzle?
You are like an animal running around inside the cage of my heart. Aren't you due for a vacation, dirty liar?
[Outro]
Someone's in my body
Someone's in my body
Someone's in my box
Someone's in my body
Someone's in my body
Someone's in my box
