[Intro]
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
They're called the Ghostbusters and they're in control
Had 'em throwin' a party for a bunch of children
While all the while the slime was under the building
So they packed up their group, got a grip, came equipped
Grabbed their proton packs off their back and they split
Found about Vigo, the master of evil
Try to battle my boys? That's not legal

Ow, dance, ow, dance
Ow, dance, ow, dance
Ow, dance, ow, dance
Ow ow, dance, oh, oh, dance
Ow, uh
Yeah, I think this is gonna be anothеr one of those funky ones
Hеart & Soul, d-d-dance
Yeah, I think this is gonna be another one of those funky ones

[Verse 1]
If I was you, and you were me, you'd wanna be winning
If you want something bad ya, you gotta wanna give your all
'Cause I believe so much in we and know we're not kidding
If you feel the same as me, yo, you gotta wanna take the ball

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I found out that nothing is given
Don't know where the cards may fall
All I know is that we've gotta get it
We've gotta make it on our own

[Chorus]
Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (All on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (All on our own)

[Verse 2]
Now can't you see that all we need to be a go-getter
Gotta make your own decisions, you gotta go for what you know (Dance)
There comes a time in our lives, you wanna be bigger
Gotta keep, keep on pushing, you gotta learn to take control, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I found out that nothing is given
Don't know where the cards may fall
All I know is that we've gotta get it
We've gotta make it on our own

[Chorus]
Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (All on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (All on our own)

[Bridge]
Gotta, gotta take it home, gotta, gotta, gotta take it home
There comes a time in your life, you wanna be bigger
Take control, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh (All on our own)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (All on our own)

[Chorus]
Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (All on our own)
We got, we got, we got
We got, we got, we got
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (All on our own)
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
They're the Ghostbusters and they're in control
Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (All on our own)
Gotta, gotta take it home
Gotta, gotta take it home
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (All on our own)
Gotta, gotta take it home
Gotta, gotta, gotta take it home

His sheer bravery and brash honesty are the very characteristics that make him “Bobby Brown” – a pioneering entertainer with over three decades of experience. From his successful debut in New Edition, the boy band prototype for groups like New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men and the Backstreet Boys, to his multi-platinum career as a solo artist, Brown has left a mark on the music industry that can never be erased.
