My Obsession

The speaker expresses an intense desire to possess someone—or things that belong to them—and tries to present that desire as reasonable. At first, he sounds confident that the other person would be better off with him. As the lyrics continue, his insistence becomes more revealing: he admits that what he wants is not his to claim, yet says he wants it exclusively. The mood is therefore both teasing and unsettling.

The repeated contrast between “obsessions” and “possessions” turns desire into a claim of ownership. “My mouth is soaking wet” suggests physical eagerness, while “you’d know it when you lost it” hints at a threat or a boast that the other person will regret refusing him. The phrase “give it to me” sounds like a demand, and the speaker’s claim that he has “no objection” is ironic: he is the one asking to take something.

The lyrics can be heard as a comic exaggeration of jealousy and selfish desire, but their language also raises concerns about control and consent. The speaker says he does not mind being unkind and assumes he can teach the other person, which makes his confidence seem manipulative rather than romantic. The final admission that the person is very young adds discomfort, though the exact relationship and circumstances are not explained.
