I Can’t Control Myself (Demo)

[Intro: Pete Shelley]

1, 2, 3

[Hook: Shelley]

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Verse 1: Howard Devoto, Shelley]

I can't stand still 'cause you've got me goin'

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

Your slacks are low, and your hips are showin'

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Chorus 1: Devoto]

I take you, girl, as you're standing there

Your low cut slacks, and your long black hair

You make me move, yeah, like no one else

And when I'm with you, I can't control myself

[Verse 2: Devoto, Shelley]

Defense is down, and she got me shakin'

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

You've got me so that my nerves are breakin'

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Chorus 2: Devoto]

If you knew me like I know you, girl

Your knees would bend, and your hair would curl

You make me move, yeah, like no one else

And when I'm with you, I can't control myself

[Bridge: Devoto]

I get this a-feeling that's inside of me

It makes me think of a-how things a-used to be

It makes me feel alright when I'm with you at night

And we love, yes, we love

[Hook: Shelley]

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Verse 3: Devoto, Shelley]

You fill me so with this big temptation

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

This kind of feeling could destroy a nation

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Chorus 3: Devoto]

But, I'm okay, when I'm here with you

I do the things that you want me to

I do these things for no one else

'Cause when I'm with you, I can't control myself

[Outro: Devoto, Shelley]

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)

Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)

I can't control myself

I can't control myself

I'm losin' control of myself

Losin' control of myself

I lost

I lost

I lost

I lost

I lost, I lost

I lost, I lost

I lost, I lost

Losin' control of myself

Losin' con-

Losin' con-
