Lyrics

Take Control

[Chorus: Roll Deep & Alesha]

We party till the sun lights up the sky

We're right here for me, I'm right here for you

Let's go (Roll Deep)...

I'm taking my time, I'm taking it slow (I know) (Take control)

We got one more chance at it, so let's go to the dance with it

('Cause you know it's now or never) Imma take control of it

[Verse 1: Roll Deep]

I wanna take control of your mind and your body and soul

Nightlife calls like hurry and go

Make plans I can't believe we're still here

They can see love flying round in the air

I'm yours (yours), babe, and you're mine

Told ya, we ain't wasting our time

We got that fresh love thing going on

Some say that it's right, some say that it's wrong

[Verse 2: Roll Deep]

My life's unreal but it ain't a dream

This girl's got a body like you won't believe

I made the first move now she don't wanna leave

I think she likes me, I'll take the lead, one thing leads to the next

It starts off with a little kiss on the neck

Then I wake up with an arm over my chest

Thinking about last night, there's never a regret

[Pre-Chorus: Alesha]

Close the door, what you waiting for

I can't believe you're here with me

Close your eyes, it's just you and I

Get ready to fly

[Chorus: Roll Deep & Alesha]

We can party till the sun lights up the sky

(We party till the sun lights up the sky)

And when the starts come out I'll be right here by your side

(When the starts come out I'll be right here by your side)

So take control

(You're right here for me, I'm right here for you, let's go)

Don't let it go (I'm taking my time, I'm taking it slow, I know)

Take control

(We got one more chance at it so let's go to the dance with it)

'Cause you know it's now or never (Imma take control of it)

[Verse 3: Roll Deep]

I grab you by the hands and roll out

Let's go now, I wanna get to a place where it goes down

Where the party starts we don't hold out

Anything goes, wanna take you there, that's all J knows

Under covers, plain clothes, yeah we like that

And then we sail out, so let's bail out

There ain't much to say, but what you saying now?

[Verse 4: Roll Deep]

You know me babe, I'm easy

Cuddle in front of the TV

Party to your favourite CD

Grab a few bottles if need be

Please don't lead me on

'Cause I'm feeling you, do you read me?

I've grown quite fond of you

Just gimme a call if you need me

[Pre-Chorus: Alesha]

Close the door, what you waiting for

I can't believe you're here with me

Close your eyes, it's just you and I

Get ready to fly

[Chorus: Roll Deep & Alesha]

We can party till the sun lights up the sky

(We party till the sun lights up the sky)

And when the starts come out I'll be right here by your side

(When the starts come out I'll be right here by your side)

So take control

(You're right here for me, I'm right here for you, let's go)

Don't let it go (I'm taking my time, I'm taking it slow, I know)

Take control

(We got one more chance at it so let's go to the dance with it)

'Cause you know it's now or never (Imma take control of it)

[Verse 5: Roll Deep]

I can take you anywhere

Yeah I mean anywhere

Here, there, this, that

Tonight's special I want you to set pace

Name a time, name a place

Okay how about here right now

Tonight's nice I'll take you out on the town

Here's my wallet, hold that

Let's spend the night, don't hold back

[Verse 6: Roll Deep]

Yo, you coulda been anywhere in the world

But you're here with me

Now there ain't no limits, high life livin'

Now we're out, we're both in it

Stay by my side

Tonight's the night that I prove that you don't need no wings to fly

Sun's in the sky, two stars on the ground

That's me and you, so we can't stop now (wow)

[Pre-Chorus: Alesha]

Close the door, what you waiting for

I can't believe you're here with me

Close your eyes, it's just you and I

Get ready to fly

[Chorus: Roll Deep & Alesha]

We can party till the sun lights up the sky

(We party till the sun lights up the sky)

And when the starts come out I'll be right here by your side

(When the starts come out I'll be right here by your side)

So take control

(You're right here for me, I'm right here for you, let's go)

Don't let it go (I'm taking my time, I'm taking it slow, I know)

Take control

(We got one more chance at it so let's go to the dance with it)

'Cause you know it's now or never (Imma take control of it)
