Can't Control Myself
Krewella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La la la la
Let's do something that we shouldn't do,
I know that you want something more in life and I do too
La la la la
Take me there 'cause it's so overdue
Hit me like a rock, knock me out
I know you're dying to.
No doubt, you got me dropped down to your feet
I can't control myself you got me feeling for your lust.
One touch, will make me in love
No fakin', I can't control myself
You know I'll never get enough.
I can't control myself (oh oh oh ah ah oh)
Can't can't can't control myself.

Always on my mind turn these thoughts to verbs so we can do
Anything you like
No such thing as no, and I'm with you.
When we dim the lights, come in closer
Smell the sweet perfume
Heating up the night
Touch me now like there's no time to lose.
No doubt, you got me dropped down to your feet
I can't control myself you got me feeling for your lust.
One touch, will make me in love
No fakin'
I can't control myself
You know I never get enough.





I can't control myself (oh oh oh ah ah oh)
Can't can't can't control myself.

One of the few dubstep songs that managed to break through my cold, critical heart without ice-shattering bass drops.
