[Spoken Intro]
Band!

[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
I'm never gonna stop, ow!
Control
To get what I want
Control
I like to have a lot
Control
Now I'm all grown up (Ah)
Woo! Uh

[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 got to take

[Chorus]
Control
Now I've got a lot, you sing!
Control
To get what I want, ow!
Control
Never gonna stop
Control
Now I'm all grown up (Ah)
[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
It's what I 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 (You know it)
Now I've got a lot, you sing!

To get what I want, one time

Wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I'm gonna be the one in control
