[Intro]

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 (My way)

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do

Are we ready?

I am

'Cause it's all about control (Control)

And I've got lots of it


[Verse 1]

When I was seventeen, I did what people told me, uh

I did what my father said, and let my mother mold me

But that was long ago, I'm in


[Chorus]

Control

Never gonna stop

Control

To get what I want

Control

I like to have a lot

Control

Now I'm all grown up (Ah)


[Verse 2]

First time I fell in love, I didn't know what hit me

So young and so naive, I thought it would be easy

But now I know I've got to take


[Chorus]

Control

Now I've got a lot

Control

To get what I want

Control

Never gonna stop

Control

Now I'm all grown up


[Interlude]

Jam, woo-woo

Rebel, that's right

I'm on my own, I'll call my own shots

Thank you


[Bridge]

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


[Verse 3]

So let me take you by the hand and lead you on this dance

Control is what I've 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


[Chorus]

Control (Ooh-ooh)

Now I've got a lot (Ooh)

Control

To get what I want (Oh)

Control

I'm never gonna stop

Control

Now I'm all grown up (Ooh)


[Interlude]

Free at last

Out here on my own

Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, hee

Now control this, uh


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

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


[Outro]

Hop to it

I'm in control and I love it

Hahahaha, that's right

Control

Now I've got a lot

Control

Now I'm all grown up

I'm in control (Uh)

I'm in control (Ah)

I'm in control (Uh)

Don't make me lose it
