Lyrics

No Self Control (Live 1982)

Got to get some food

I'm so hungry all the time

But I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop

Got to get some sleep

I'm so nervous in the night

Don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop

And I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop

Got to pick up the phone

I will call any number

I will talk to anyone

I know I'm gone too far

Much too far I gone this time

Don't want to think what I've done

I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop

No, I don't know how to stop

Hey, I don't know how to stop

There are always hidden silences

Waiting behind the chair

They come out when the coast is clear

They eat anything that moves

I go shaky at the knees

Lights go out, stars come down

Like a swarm of bees

No self-control (No self-control)

No self-control (No self-control)

No self-control (No sеlf-control)

No self-control (No self-control)

No self-control (No sеlf-control)

No self-control (No self-control)

No self-control

No self-control

You know I hate to hurt you

I hate to see your pain

But I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop

Street after street

Night after night

I walk on through the rain

I walk on through the rain

I don't know how to stop

Hey, I don't know how to stop

No, I don't know how to stop

Hey, I don't know how to stop
