Lyrics

She’s Lost Control (12" Mix)

[Verse 1] Confusion in her eyes that says it all She's lost control And she's clinging to the nearest passer by She's lost control And she gave away the secrets of her past And said I've lost control again And a voice that told her when and where to act She said I've lost control again [Verse 2] And she turned around and took me by the hand and said I've lost control again And how i'll never know just why or understand She said I've lost control again And she screamed out kicking on her side and said I've lost control again And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die She said I've lost control again [Hook] She's lost control again She's lost control She's lost control again She's lost control [Verse 3] Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case And say she's lost control again And she showed up all the errors and mistakes And said I've lost control again But she expressed herself in many different ways Until she lost control again And walked upon the edge of no escape And laughed I've lost control again [Hook] She's lost control again She's lost control She's lost control again She's lost control [Outro] I could live a little better with the myths and the lies When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried I could live a little in a wider line When the change is gone, when the urge is gone To lose control, when here we come
