Out Of Control
Corina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just can't explain, the pain I'm feeling over losing you
You left me all alone, and I don't know what I'm going to do
Thought this love would last but we're not together
And I'd be loving you forever
So many lonely days, turned into longer nights
I'm standing in the darkness trying to decide who was right

Out of control, you walked out on me
My dreams were shattered baby can't you see
Out of control, I know I was wrong
Your the one that I loved, I've loved you all along

My mind tells me to leave you, but then my heart tells me to stay
My heart tells me to call you but then my mind says not today
Ask you to return to where you belong, together we'll learn right from wrong
Run back to me, or then I'm coming after you
Just give me one more chance to prove my love can be true

Through the years I showed I loved you so
The question lingers, why did you let me go
And though in time my pain will heal
Nothing will change the way I feel

If only I can go back in time and make some changes in our life




I never meant to use all those words that cut like a knife
Have to make this work because I believe I need you and you need me

Line by Line Meaning

I just can't explain, the pain I'm feeling over losing you
I am unable to describe the agony I experience after losing you


You left me all alone, and I don't know what I'm going to do
You abandoned me, and I am clueless about the next steps I should take


Thought this love would last but we're not together
I assumed our love was forever, but we are no longer together


And I'd be loving you forever
I would have loved you indefinitely


So many lonely days, turned into longer nights
Numerous lonesome days transformed into elongated nights


I'm standing in the darkness trying to decide who was right
I am in the dark, still pondering who was correct


Out of control, you walked out on me
You left me, and I lost all sense of control


My dreams were shattered baby can't you see
My aspirations were crushed, can't you perceive


Out of control, I know I was wrong
I comprehend that I was incorrect, and everything spiraled out of control


Your the one that I loved, I've loved you all along
I have always loved you, and you are my true love


My mind tells me to leave you, but then my heart tells me to stay
My intellect suggests I part ways, but my heart implores me to stay


My heart tells me to call you but then my mind says not today
My heart desires to contact you, but my brain tells me it's not the right time


Ask you to return to where you belong, together we'll learn right from wrong
I request that you forgive and come back to me. We will learn and grow together


Run back to me, or then I'm coming after you
Either you come back to me, or else I'll hunt you down


Just give me one more chance to prove my love can be true
I request one opportunity to demonstrate the authenticity of my love


Through the years I showed I loved you so
Over the years, I exhibited the depth of my affection for you


The question lingers, why did you let me go
The nagging inquiry remains, why did you permit me to leave


And though in time my pain will heal
Although my hurt will subside in time


Nothing will change the way I feel
Nothing will alter the emotions I experience


If only I can go back in time and make some changes in our life
I wish to revisit the past and make alterations in our life


I never meant to use all those words that cut like a knife
My intention wasn't to use words akin to a sharp-edged knife


Have to make this work because I believe I need you and you need me
We need to work things out since I think I require you, and you necessitate me.

This is one of my favorite Corina song! Love this video, the scenes from Puerto Rico, and her choreographic! She's very talented and stayed very physically fit. You look beautiful Corina!

@VictorOrtiz-yk7vq

Miss Corina as a man who grew up during freestyle I just want to say thank you so very much for your beauty, talent and music. Most fun times of my life were buying clothes to go clubbing on weekends to see you and all your colleagues at Emerald city, Devils nest, Fun House , Heartthrobs, L'Amour east, Roxy, Studio 55, 1018 ect. The ladies were so fly and the men did our best to look as good as possible. Miss those days.

@TheFirstCorina

+Victor Ortiz an absolutely wonderful compliment. I'm so honored. Thank you for the love Victor. You are a part of a truly wonderful blessing.

@raybon7939

I enjoyed your music as well. I didn't go clubbing till early 90s. So missed the boat on basically....Lloll..... all of, your live performances. But?...I remember this single of yours breaking out around February of 87, during a massive snow storm. or was that the song January February. anyway it was some time in 87. Great song. Pretty important part of lib back then. Hopefully these next generations can discover your music.

@Aesop101

Only 1 Corina and that's Miss Ayala...we love u manita.

@Taino871

@tallmike6598

Still love this song in 2023...

@renzoarana7373

I love Freestyle so much that my wife sometimes gets jealous when I listen to it and dance by myself ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.... I feel so fortunate to have been able to live through the entire Freestyle Era... And I remember attending to all these concerts... I saw Corina at the Latin Quarter Club on Broadway back in 88... She was beautiful then and she is even more beautiful today... I hope my wife doesn't find this ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

@paulpaid

Freestyle Forever.
