Control Lyrics
[00:06.00] This is story about control
[00:08.95] My control, control of what I say
[00:13.72] Control of what I do
[00:17.04] And this time I'm gonna do it my way
[00:21.70] I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
[00:25.79] Are we ready?
[00:27.87] I am 'cause it's all about control
[00:33.00] And I've got lots of it
[01:11.80] When I was seventeen I did what people told me
[01:20.02] I did what my father said
[01:22.00] And let my mother mold me
[01:25.60] But that was a long ago
[01:27.02] I'm in control, never gonna stop
[01:31.60] Control, to get what I want
[01:35.40] Control, I like to have a lot
[01:39.51] Control, now I'm all grown up
[01:59.51] First time I fell in love, I didn't know what hit me
[02:07.81] So young and so naïve, I thought it would be easy
[02:13.35] But now I know I got to take
[02:15.47] Control, now I've got a lot
[02:19.45] Control, to get what I want
[02:23.46] Control, I'm never gonna stop
