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 17, I did what people told me Did what my father said, And let my mother mold me But that was long ago
[Chorus:] I'm in control, never gonna stop Control, to get what I want Control, I got 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 But now I know I've got to take...
[Chorus]
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
So let me take you by the hand And lead you on this dance Cause what I've got is because I took a chance I don't wanna rule the world Just wanna run my life So make your life a little easier When you get the chance just take...
[Chorus]
Free at last, out here on my own Now control this That's right, career moves I do what's right for me And me wants to groove Is that ok?
[Bridge]
Hop to it I'm in control (and I love it, that's right) Control, now I've got a lot Control, now I'm all grown up I'm in control, I'm in control Don't make me lose it
