You love her I know but I won't let you go I just won't step by all 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

I'll keep you as long as I possibly can you were mine before she came our way

I refused to abide and I won't step aside

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 arms do what's rightfully mine

Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say

[ ac.guitar + steel ]

Forgive me for being so selfish...
