Control
Ria Ritchie Lyrics

Control
You want to be the one in charge or have power over something/someone

Control
Reinforcing the desire for control

Show me
You want proof that someone else is not in control

You're not in control
Making the statement that someone else isn't in control

Show me
Reiterating the need for proof of control loss

Control, show it
Demanding that someone else demonstrate their control

You're not what you wanna take
Questioning someone's intentions and desires for control

You're not in control
Reiterating the belief that someone else has lost control

Control
Reasserting the desire for control

Show me
Continuing to request proof of control loss

Control
Restating the desire for control

Staring in your eyes
Describing a specific moment where eye contact was made

I felt my desire
Acknowledging a personal desire, possibly for control

You can't take control
Asserting that control cannot be taken by someone else

Of the love we fight
Describing a conflict that involves love and control

Take control, show me
Asking for someone else to take the lead and demonstrate control

Show me control
Making a clear request for proof of control

You're not what you wanna look
Questioning someone else's desires and intentions for control

You and me will take control, control
Making a statement of shared control between two individuals

And with this time make it all on
Implying that time is a factor in establishing control

And with this time make it all on
Repeating the need to take control within a certain timeframe

Show me, show me, show me, show me all I ever want
Repeating the request for proof of control

Control
Emphasizing the desire for control

Show me, show me, show me all I... What you want
Requesting more information and clarification on what someone else wants in terms of control

All we're fighting by the thought of losing out your beat alone
Describing how the fear of losing control is causing a conflict or fight

Won't be the one who has to sleep without you
Implying that control is related to personal security or reassurance

By the time I know I want my way I know that you you wanna take me home
Suggesting that control is linked to desire and intimacy

Let it happen and you'll be the one to
Encouraging someone else to let go of control and see what happens

Well take the time to comprimise, no backing down
Indicating that control can be shared and requires compromise

Says who, nothing else will ever come between us
Expressing confidence in maintaining control and connection with someone else

Leave you with nothing else to say
Asserting dominance and control in a situation

No use in telling me what to do
Rejecting attempts by others to assert control over the artist

All this be the one that you know, you trust
Suggesting that trust is essential in sharing control with someone else

Let me catch my breath
Requesting a pause or break from the situation

Hold me to your chest
Describing a moment of intimacy and reassurance

Feel our hearts cut out
Emphasizing the intensity of the moment and connection

From the other side
Adding a sense of distance or difference

Keep it close to you
Advising someone else to maintain control and hold onto something important

Until the night is through
Indicating a specific timeframe for control

You stood in control
Acknowledging someone else's control in a situation

From the other side
Repeating the earlier sense of distance or detachment

Slow it down
Requesting a change in pace or approach
