[Chorus:]
Think of it all the time
It's always on my mind
Losing all control
Of my heart and soul

Even when I close my eyes
The feeling never dies
Losing all control
Of my heart and soul

[Verse 1:]
Slowly but surely
All control is leaving me
Seems as though my mind has gone astray

Can't stop thinking 'bout
How I just can't do without
I know I can not go on this way

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Verse 2:]
Oh, I can't believe
All the things it does to me
Got me doing things it shouldn't be

Everybody's telling me
About responsibility
Deep inside
I feel my soul at ease

[Bridge Repeat x2:]
But still
I can't stop
Thinking 'bout how I
Can't help the way I feel
Can't deny it takes control of me

[Repeat Chorus:]

Tevin Campbell

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
