Possession (L)

You don’t need no sniffin dogs
You don’t need no x-ray machine
You don’t need no lie detector test
No good cop bad cop routine
I’ll give you my confession So it’s clear right from the start
My baby’s guilty of possession
And it’s tearing me apart

Chorus
My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession – and it’s tearing me apart

I was drifting, I was all alone
I was sitting staring into my beer
I heard a voice kind of sad but kind of kind
The kind of voice I was sitting waiting there to hear
She said that she had something, that could calm my yearning heart
My baby’s guilty of possession
And I was trapped and falling fast

Chorus

My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession – and I am trapped and falling fast

Now I need help, I am all at sea
I’m not sure if I’ll sink or swim
This drug’s a whirlpool and it’s almost got me
I could be caught in its overwhelming spin
I’m not sure if I should fight it, or trust that it will bring freedom at last
My baby says that she can save me
If I trust her through the dark

My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession – possession of my heart
_

You can stop those screaming sirens
No need here for bullet proof vests
Put away those battering rams
I can’t wait to get the facts off my chest / I’ve heard the truth can set you free if you are brave enough to open your heart

My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession
My baby’s guilty of possession – possession of my heart/and it’s tearing me apart
