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

When I was 17, I did what people told me
Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago

I'm in Control, never gonna stop
Control, to get what I want
Control, I got to have a lot
Control, now I'm all grown up

Jam, ooh ooh
Rebel, that's right

Got my own mind
I wanna 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 on this dance
Cause what I've 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...

Control, I got to have a lot
Control, now I'm all grown up

Free at last
Now control this

Cause' I've got my own mind
Gonna make my own decisions
Has to do with my life
I wanna be the one in control

I'm in control
I'm in control
I'm in control
I'm in control
