[Chorus]
Control yourself, control yourself
If you wanna make him care for you, oh
Control yourself, control yourself
Though it's gettin' mighty hard to do

[Verse 1]
I let him tell me all those lies
(Let him tell me all those lies)
And then I look into his eyes
(Look into his eyes)
And then it begins (Sha-ma-la-ma-la-ma-la), I go in a spin (Sha-ma-la-ma-la-ma-la)
He's the boy that I dreamed about
And now that we are going out, girl you'd better

[Chorus]
Control yourself, control yourself
If you wanna make him care for you, oh
Control yourself, control yourself
Though it's gettin' mighty hard to do

[Verse 2]
And when he's holding me so near
(When he's holding me so near)
He whispers sweet things in my ear
(Whispers sweet things in my ear)
And then it begins (Sha-ma-la-ma-la-ma-la), all over again (Sha-ma-la-ma-la-ma-la)
I just want him to hold me tight
Tell me that everything's alright, girl you'd better
[Chorus]
Control yourself, control yourself
If you wanna make him care for you, oh
Control yourself, control yourself
Though it's gettin' mighty hard to do
(Control yourself)
Yeah, it's gettin' mighty hard to do
(Control yourself)
Getting mighty, mighty hard to do
(Control yourself)
Yeah, it's gettin' mighty hard to do
(Control yourself)
Oh, it's gettin' mighty hard to do
(Control yourself)
