Lyrics

This is a story about control, my control Control of what I say, control of what I do And this time I'm gonna do it my way I hope you enjoy this as much as I do Are we ready? I am 'Cause it's all about control And I've got lots of it When I was seventeen I did what people told me Did what my father said And let my mother mold me But that was a long ago, I'm in Control (Never gonna stop) Control (To get what I want) Control (I like to have a lot) Control (Now I'm all grown up) First time I fell in love I didn't know what hit me So young and so naive I thought it would be easy Now I know I've got to take Control (Now I've got a lot) Control (To get what I want) Control (I'm never gonna stop) Control (Now I'm all grown up) Jam, ooh, ooh Rebel, that's right I'm on my own, I'll call my own shots Thank you Got my own mind I wanna make my own decisions When it has to do with my life, my life I wanna be the one in control So let me take you by the hand And lead you [Incomprehensible] this dance (Control) It's what I got Because I took a chance I don't wanna rule the world Just wanna run my life, ooh So make your life a little easier When you get the chance, just take Control, ooh, ooh (Now I've got a lot, ooh) Control (To get what I want, ow) Control (I'm never gonna stop) Control (Now I'm all grown up, ooh) Free at last Out here on my own Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah Now control this, uh Control (That's right) Control (Career moves) Control (I do what's right for me) Control (And me wants to groove, is that okay?) Yeah, ooh, control I've got my own mind, ooh, baby Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I've got my own mind Wanna make my own decisions When it has to do with my life I wanna be the one in control Hop to it, I'm in control And I love it, ha, ha, ha, that's right Control (Now I've got a lot) Control (Now I'm all grown up, ah) I'm in control, uh I'm in control, ah I'm in control, uh Don't make me lose it Control
