[QUINN]
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
[BLAINE]
When I was 17, I did what people told me, uhh!
I did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago
I'm in
[QUINN, ARTIE, BLAINE]
Control (Never gonna stop)
Control (To get what I want)
Control (I've got to have a lot)
Control (And now I'm all grown up)
[ARTIE]
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
[QUINN, ARTIE, BLAINE]
Control (Now I've got a lot, ow)
Control (To get what I want, uh)
Control (And never gonna stop)
Control (And now I'm all grown up)
[ARTIE & BLAINE]
Jam, wooh wooh
[ARTIE]
Rebel, that's right
I'm on my own, I'll call my own shots
Thank you
[BLAINE]
Got my own mind
I wanna make my own (Decisions)
When it has to do with (My life, my life)
[ARTIE & BLAINE]
I wanna be the one in control
So let me take you by the hand
And lead you on this dance, ah
'Cause what I 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
[BLAINE & ARTIE]
Control, ooh ooh (Now I've got a lot)
