Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Control
I will control your soul
Let me control it
You said you're lonely
You said you're blue
You lost your lover
If you surrender
You'll feel no pain
‘Cause I'm the master of this game
Control
Let me control it
Control
Let me control it
Let me kiss it
I'll make it better
And then tonight
You will forget her
Let me kiss it
I'll make it better
And then tonight
You will forget her
Control your soul
Let me control it
Control your soul
Let me control it
Come with me to the other side
Come with we'll swim beneath the tide
Come with me to the other side
Come with me beneath the tide
Control (x3)
Let me control it
I will control your soul (x6)
