When I was seventeen
I did what people told me
I did what my father said
And let my mother mould me
But that was long ago
Control, control, never gonna stop
Control, control, to get what I want
Control, control, I like to have a lot
Control, control, 'cause now I'm all grown up
When I first fell in love
I never knew what hit me
I was so young and so naive
I thought it would be easy
But that was long ago
Control, control, never gonna stop
Control, control, to get what I want
Control, control, I like to have a lot
Control, control, 'cause now I'm all grown up
And that's the truth
I gotta make my own decisions
If it has to do with my life, my life, life (got me)
I wanna be, I wanna be the one in control, control
In control, control
When I was seventeen
I did what people told me
I was so young and so naive
I never knew what hit me
But that was a long time ago
Control, control, never gonna stop
Control, control, to get what I want
Control, control, I like to have a lot
Control, control, 'cause now I'm all grown up
And that's the truth
But I gotta make my own decisions
If it has to do with my life
I wanna be, I wanna be
'Cos I got my own life
I gotta make my own decisions
If it has to do with my life, my life, life yet
I wanna be, I wanna be in control, control
Control, control
Control, control, I'm never gonna stop
Control, control, to get what I want
Control, control, I like to have a lot
Control, control, 'cause now I'm all grown up
Control, control
And now I'm gonna stick on my control
I wanna to be
