Quotes / Obsession Song

Beata Maria, you know I am a righteous man,
Of my virtue, I am justly proud
Beata Maria, you know I'm so much purer than,
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd.
Then tell me, Maria,
Why I see her dancing there,
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul?
I feel her, I see her,
The sun caught in her raven hair,
Is blazing in me out of all control!

—Judge Claude Frollo, "Hellfire", The Hunchback of Notre Dame

"I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and I 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?"

—Animotion, "Obsession"

I am nothing...

You are wind and water and sky, Jodie.

Tell me, Jodie, how I can earn your love...

I would swim oceans, I would move mountains,

I would do anything for you...

What do you want me to do?

—John Hinckley, Assassins. He ends up shooting Ronald Reagan.

It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing.

—Elvis Costello, "I Want You"

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

—The Police, "Every Breath You Take"

I was meant to be yours
We were meant to be one!
I can’t make it alone!
Finish what we’ve begun!
You were meant to be mine!
I am all that you need!
You carved open my heart!
Can't just leave me to bleed!

—Meant to be Yours, Heathers

On my own, pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me...

—Éponine, "On My Own", Les Misérables

I wanna lock you in a basement,
But in that basement, you would also be my personal trainer
(I want your abs!)
Break into your mom’s house, collect your baby teeth,
And turn them in to my new retainer
(I want your smile!)
Cook your spit into a chowder, dry your sweat into a powder,
And do lines of you all through the night
(Night!)
Cause I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I I'm feeling kinda naughty,
Take measurements of your body,
Then go up to a surgeon,
Make my body like your body,
Like that film with Liberace,
Cause I'm feeling kinda naughty tonight!

—Rebecca Bunch, "Feeling Kinda Naughty," Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

You'll never know how I watched you
From the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels to get so close
And be denied
It's a gold and honey trap
I've got for you tonight
Revenge, it's a kiss
This time I won't miss
Now I've got you in my sight!

—Tina Turner, GoldenEye

"Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust"

—Poets of the Fall, "Carnival of Rust"

"I'd sacrifice
I'd sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you"
