Songs Title:control
This is a story about control, my control
Control of what I say, control of what I do
And this time Im gonna do it my way
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready? I am? cause its all about control
And Ive got lots of it
When I was 17, I did what people told me
Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago
Im in control, never gonna stop
Control, to get what I want
Control, I got to have a lot
Control, now Im all grown up
First time I fell in love
I didnt know what hit me
So young and so naive
I thought it would be easy
But now I know Ive go to take...
Repeat chorus
Thats right, Im on my own,
Ill 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 on this dance
Cause what Ive got is because I took a chance
I dont wanna rule the world
Just wanna run my life
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take...
Free at last, out here on my own
Now control this
Thats right, career moves
I do whats right for me
And me wants to groove
Is that ok?
Hop to it
Im in control (and I love it, thats right)
Control, now Ive got a lot
Control, now Im all grown up
Im in control, Im in control
Dont make me lose it
