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
I did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago
I'm in control, and now I've got a lot
Control, to get what I want
Control, and never gonna stop
Control, and now I'm all grown up
Jam
Rebel, that's right
Got my own mind
I want to make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life, my life
I want to 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 want to rule the world
Just want to run my life
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance, just take control
Control, and now I've got a lot
Control, now I'm all grown up
Free at last
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Now control this
'Cause I've got my own mind
Gonna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I want to be the one in control
I'm in control
