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, uh
I did what my father said
And let my mother mold me
But that was long ago

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

Control
Now I got to have a lot
Control
To get what I want

Control
Never gonna stop
Control
Now I'm all grown up

Jam, woo, ooh
Rebel
That's right, I'm on my own
I'll callin' my own shot
Thank you

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 (control)
'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

Control
Ooh, ooh, now I've got a lot
Control
To get what I want

Control
Never gonna stop
Control
Now I'm all grow up, ooh

Free at last
Out here on my own
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, eee

I wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I wanna be the one in control

Hop to it

And I love it, that's right

Control
Now I've got a lot
Control
Now I'm all grown up
