Janet Jackson Lyrics

Control

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



Chorus:

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...



Repeat Chorus



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



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

So make your life a little easier

When you get the chance just take...



Repeat Chorus



Free at last, out here on my own

Now control this

That's right, career moves

I do what's right for me

And me wants to groove

Is that ok?



Repeat Bridge



Hop to it

I'm in control (and I love it, that's right)

Control, now I've got a lot

Control, now I'm all grown up

I'm in control, I'm in control

Don't make me lose it
