Control this!
Control this now!
Hoo!
This time around, yeah!
Hoo!
He really thought he really had a hold of me
He really thought he really had control of me
He really thought he really had control of me

[Verse 1]
This time around I never get bit
Though you really wanna fix me
This time around you're makin' me sick
Though you really wanna get me
Somebody's out, somebody's out to get me
They really wanna fix me, they really wanna hit me (Hit me)
But this time around I'm takin' no shit
Though you really wanna get me, you really wanna get me

Though you really wanna get me (You really wanna get me)
But this time around I'm takin' no shit
Though you really wanna fix me (You really wanna fix me)
Somebody's out, somebody's out to use me
They get people to use me and they falsely accuse me
This time around don't treat me like spit
Though you really can't control me, you really can't control me
[Chorus]
