Janet Jackson - Control Lyrics






[Spoken intro:]
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 (my way)
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready?
I am
'Cause it's all about control (control)
And I've got lots of it)
When I was 17 I did what people told me, uhh!
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 like to have a lot
Control
Now I'm all grown up

First time I fell in love, I didn't know what hit me
So young and so naive, I thought it would be easy
Now I know I got to take

Control
Now I've got a lot, ow!
Control
To get what I want
Control
I'm never gonna stop
Control
Now I'm all grown up

Jam, ooh ooh
Rebel, that's right
I'm on my own, I'll call my own shots
Thank you

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 in this dance
Control
It's what I got, because I took a chance
I don't wanna rule the world, just wanna run my life
Ooh
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take

Control, ooh ooh
Now I've got a lot, ooh
Control
To get what I want, ow!
Control
I'm never gonna stop
Control
Now I'm all grown up, ooh!

Free at last
Out here on my own
Ooh ooh ooh yeah, eee

Now control this, uhh
Control
That's right
Control
Career moves
Control
I do what's right for me
Control
And me wants to groove
Is that okay?
Yeah!
Ooh, control

I've got my own mind
Ooh baby
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I've got my own mind
Wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I wanna be the one in control

Hop to it
I'm in control, and I love it, hahaha, that's right

Control
Now I've got a lot
Control
Now I'm all grown up, ahh!
I'm in control
Uhh
I'm in control
Ahh
I'm in control
Uhh
Don't make me lose it
Contro

    So when she came into her own, I was on board,and love her sound.
    This song is arguably my favorite of her, move your ass songs,
    Love the message behind this Frantic ,
    Kinetic beat-good music.😆👍👍⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

    Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis!! Janet side kicks!

  75. A.... Y....

    CONTROL!!! 2020 ANYONE?

  76. j.... l....

    NEVER HAS A BROTHER (MICHAEL J) AND A SISTER (JANET J) CONTROLLED AN ENTIRE DECADE OF MUSIC. The killing part about it is that she was just getting started. Now yougins, this is what you call a trendsetter. Back in the day you waited for this video to come on. Jimmy and Terry, I don't think it is possible to repeat this team success. Can somebody give some props to the two women in the background.

  77. K.... J....

    Two minutes in and this hollers 1980's. I like it!

  78. h.... k....

    What's the point of having the 2 guys holding the portable keyboards and the one guy just holding drumsticks? You can tell they are not actually playing the keyboards and the guy holding the drumsticks is not doing anything at all but air drumming.
