Control
M.A.N.X. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want say
One, one thing
About you, my little girl
I control
'Cause you make me feel like the beast inside you
You don't need to stay so closer
'Cause make me feel like you do
You don't need to stay so focused
'Cause make me feel like you do
Make me feel like you do
I just want say
One, one thing
About you, my little girl
I control
'Cause you make me feel like the beast inside you
You don't need to stay so closer
'Cause you make me feel like you do
You don't need to stay so focused
'Cause you make me feel like you do
I can't control myself
'Cause you make me feel like a little boy
When I'm in love with you
I can't control myself
'Cause you make me feel like a little boy
When I'm in love with you
I can't control myself
'Cause you make me feel like a little boy
When I'm in love with you
I just want say
One, one thing
About you, my little girl
You don't need to stay so closer
'Cause you make me feel like you do




You don't need to stay so focused
'Cause you make me feel like you do
