Lyrics - Control by Janet Jackson

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 go 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
