[Verse 1]
When I was 17, 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
