“Obsession” is the fourth track featured on the Roulette: Metro Stars Of Detroit EP.

Sleep with me x4
Yeah
You want to sleep with me
Sleep with me x2
You want to sleep with me x5
Sleep with me
You want to sleep with me x3

You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I’m your possession
I’m open at your feet
There’s no balance
No equality
Still I will not accept defeat

[I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you, and capture you]

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

I feed you, I drink you
My day, my night
I need you, I need you
By sun or candlelight

You protect, you unto me
Stay, oh, there’s no alternative

[Your face appears again, I see the beauty there
But I see danger, stranger beware
A circumstances in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems]

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness, has turned to badness
My need to possess you has gone to my soul
My life is trembling, I have no control

[I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you, and capture you]

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

You are an obsession
You’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?

[You are an obsession
You’re my obsession]
Ah! Obsession
[Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me?]

[You are an obsession]
My obsession
[You’re my obsession]
Obsession
[Who do you want me to be]
Session
[To make you sleep with me?]

[Who do you want me to be]
