This is a story about control, my control
Control of what I say, control of what I do
And this time I'm gonna do it my way

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready? I am? Cause it's all about control
And I've got lots of it

When I was 17, I did what people told me
Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago


I'm in control, never gonna stop
Control, to get what I want

Control, I got to have a lot
Control, now I'm all grown up


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...


That's right, I'm on my own,
I'll call my own shots, thank you


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

So let me take you by the hand

And lead you on this dance
Cause what I've got is because I took a chance
I don't wanna rule the world

Just wanna run my life
