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'll 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 seventeen

I did what people told me

I did what my father said

and let my mother mold me

But that was long ago

I'm in

I'm never gonna stop

To get what I want

I gotta have it all

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 got to take

And now I've got a lot

To get what I want

Never gonna stop

Now I'm all grown up

That's right, I'm on my own

I'll call my own shots

Thank you

Got my own mind

I'm gonna 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 at the dance

'Cause what I've got

I guess I'll take a chance

I don't wanna rule the world

I just wanna run my life

So make your life

a little easier

once you get the chance

just take control

Now I've got a lot

To get what I want

Never gonna stop

Now I'm all grown up

Ooh, free at last

Out here on my own

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Free, now control this

That's right, career move

I do what's right for me

And we must agree

Is that ok

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, that's right

I got my own life

Ooh, baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got my own life

Gonna make my

own decisions

Baby, I've still got

my own life

I wanna be the one

in control

I tell you

I'm in control

and I love it

Ha, ha, ha, ha

That's right

Now I've got a lot

Now I'm all grown up

I'm in control

I'm in control

I'm in control

Don't make me lose it
