Lyrics Jean Shepard

Jean Shepard

Take Possession

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

For 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

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
