Janet Jackson - Control

Spoken:
This is 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 a long ago

I'm in control, I’m never gonna stop
Control, to get what I want
Control, I got to have a lot
Control, now I'm more 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
Now I know I got to take

Control, now I've got a lot
Control, to get what I want
Control, never gonna stop
Control, now I'm more grown up

Yea, ooh, ooh
Rebel, that's right
I'm going on my own,
I'll go on my own shots
Thank you

Got my own mind
I want to make my own decision
And it has to do with my life, my life
I want to be the one in control

So let me take you by the hand,
And leave you at distance
Control is what I've got, ‘cause I take the chance
I don't wanna move the world,
just wanna run the life
So make your life a little easier
What to get the chances to

Control, now I've got a lot
Control, to get what I want
Control, I'm never gonna stop
Control, now I'm more grown up

Free at last
I’ll live on my own
Ooh yeah
Now, control this

Control, that's right
Control, can mean most
Control, I’ll do what's right for me
Control, and mean most, is that OK?
Yeah, ooh, control

I've got own mind
Ooh baby
Yeah, yeah...
I've got my own mind
Wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I wanna be the one in control

I'm in control
And I love it, that’s right Control, now I've got a lot Control, now I'm more grown up
I'm in control
I'm in control
I'm in control
Don't make me lose it
