[Verse 1]

Well, I love my friends, but they've lost control

Maybe they'll find it again if that was ever the goal

And I love the old heads 'cause they still got soul

But when they get stuck in the past, it leaves me cold

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a dreamer, got some explaining to do

I'm a lover, I got my sights set on you

I get started, and then I get on a roll

All I want is a little less control, woah

A little less control (Woah)

[Verse 2]

And I know I'm right 'cause I've been wrong

It's a feeling you never forget your whole life long

Yeah, you've got a thick skin and a middle part

You were born to be part of the scene, a real rock star

[Chorus]

You're a dreamer, hard living to do

You're a lover, and love's a-coming to you

No free rides, we're all paying the toll

All you want is a little less control, woah

A little less control (Woah)

Control (Woah)

A little less control (Woah)

[Bridge]

I got a secret, put it in the back of your skull

Lock it up, act like it doesn't exist

When they hate you, you gotta give 'em a kiss

'Cause they don't know anything 'bout love

It's a magic trick, this thing we call "getting it through"

You start a fire, you never know, you might burn all down

But that's the risk, the risk of playing out in the cold

[Chorus]

All you want's a little less control (Woah)

A little less control (Woah)

Control (Woah)

A little less control (Woah)

[Outro]

I'm a dreamer, I know a thing we could try

It's just money, I think we're gonna be fine

I get started, and then I get on a roll

All I want is a little less control, woah

A little less control (Woah)

Gimme some control (Woah)

A little less control (Woah)
