Well, I love my friends, but they've lost control Maybe they'll find it again if that was ever the goal And I love the old heads 'cause they still got soul But when they get stuck in the past, it leaves me cold 'Cause I'm a dreamer, got some explaining to do I'm a lover, I got my sights set on you I get started, and then I get on a roll All I want is a little less control, woah A little less control (Woah) And I know I'm right 'cause I've been wrong It's a feeling you never forget your whole life long Yeah, you've got a thick skin and a middle part You were born to be part of the scene, a real rock star You're a dreamer, hard living to do You're a lover, and love's a-coming to you No free rides, we're all paying the toll All you want is a little less control, woah A little less control (Woah) Control (Woah) A little less control (Woah) I got a secret, put it in the back of your skull Lock it up, act like it doesn't exist When they hate you, you gotta give 'em a kiss 'Cause they don't know anything 'bout love It's a magic trick, this thing we call "getting it through" You start a fire, you never know, you might burn all down But that's the risk, the risk of playing out in the cold All you want's a little less control (Woah) A little less control (Woah) Control (Woah) A little less control (Woah) I'm a dreamer, I know a thing we could try It's just money, I think we're gonna be fine I get started, and then I get on a roll All I want is a little less control, woah A little less control (Woah) Gimme some control (Woah) A little less control (Woah)
