[Verse 1: Louis Owens; Dolly Parton; Louis Owens & Dolly Parton]
I can't live with you if you try to own me
Though you may give me love like I have never known
If you try to control me, then you'll never know me
'Cause I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong

[Chorus: Louis Owens, Louis Owens & Dolly Parton]
'Cause I have no control over what I feel inside
And you must take me like I am and you must be satisfied
So if you think you can't be without placin' chains on me
Then I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong

[Verse 2: Louis Owens; Dolly Parton; Louis Owens & Dolly Parton]
So take me just for what I am, don't try to change a thing
And I'll take you just as you are, and I expect thе same
So if you wanna love me, you must undеrstand all of me
For I'll be movin' out when possession gets too strong

[Chorus: Louis Owens, Louis Owens & Dolly Parton]
For I have no control over what I feel inside
And you must take me like I am and you must be satisfied
So if you think you can't be without placin' chains on me
Then I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong

[Outro: Louis Owens & Dolly Parton]
Yes, I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
