My Obsession
The Rolling Stones · As It Happened [1969]
my obsession
your possessions
every piece that I can get
my obsessions are
your possessions
my mouth is soaking wet
I think I blew it now, confession
can't dodge it, it's simple logic
You'd be better off with me and you'll know it
when you lost it, lonely (?)
my obsession are
your possession
are you smiling on my way
my obsession are
your possession
one that you should give away
give it to me now I've no objection
I don't mind if it's unkind
and it's not my property
but I want it just to be mine, exclusively
oooh baby, ooh baby
oooh baby, oooh baby
oooh baby, oooh baby
oooh baby, oooh baby
aaahhhh
You need teaching you're a girl
there are things in this world
that need teaching with discretion, my profession
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
didn't see you were so young
I could almost be your son
please turn in my direction, no objection

My Obsession - The Rolling Stones
Released on the 1969 compilation album As It Happened, 'My Obsession' stands as a quintessential example of The Rolling Stones' mid-period rock and roll sound. The track features the band's signature blend of gritty guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and Mick Jagger's charismatic vocals, capturing the raw energy of the era. While often associated with their later blues-rock evolution, this recording reflects the group's deep roots in American rock and roll and their ability to deliver high-energy performances across various studio sessions. The song remains a staple of their discography, showcasing the band's enduring influence on the genre and their status as a defining act of 1960s rock music.
