Try as I might
I'm a fool in a losing fight
Can't escape the bullet's bite
'Cause the enemy's inside

Sign on the dotted line
Take your pick, have a bite
When seduction starts I know it won't stop
'Til I give you the things I can't deny

You've got me wrapped up in your cancer
But I'm not quite what you thought I'd be

You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold and it's feelin' good
You really got control of me
I should've gotten out when I thought I could

I get my fix for the last time
One more trip to the other side
Scratch my skin cause you leave me dry
I'm makin' deals with thieves and liars

You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold and it's feelin' good
You really got control of me
I should've gotten out when I thought I could
Walk the roads down the boulevards
Past the dollar shows for the bleeding hearts
You've used me up down to the last drop
But I'm more than what you thought I'd be

You thought you had a hold on me
You thought you had a hold and it's feelin' good
You thought you had control of me
I should've gotten out when you thought I would

You thought you had control of me
But you never had your hold on me
You never had control of me
You never had control of (control of me)
