You've got
The White Stripes Lyrics

You've got her in your pocket
You have control over her and she's at your mercy

And there is no way out now
She's trapped and there's no escape for her

Put it in the safe and lock it
Keep her under tight control and don't give her any freedom

Cause it's home sweet home
This is where you want her to be and she should feel comfortable in captivity

Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way
You're doing something wrong and no one has corrected you

To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way
To manipulate a woman into thinking she's in charge and did everything on her own

And you'll be there if she ever feels blue
You'll be there to console her when she's sad, but only to control her more

And you'll be there when she finds someone new
You'll still be present in her life, watching her every move, even if she leaves you

What to do
You know what to do to keep her under your control

Well you know
You already know how to manipulate and control her

You keep her in your pocket
You still have control over her every move

Where there's no way out now
There's still no escape for her

The smile on your face made her think
Your smile made her think you were the one for her

She had the right one
She thought you were the right person for her

Then she thought she was sure
She was certain you were the one, but that confidence wavered

By the way you two could have fun
The good times you had together made her fall for you

But now she might leave
She's considering leaving you because of your controlling ways

Like she's threatened before
She's made threats to leave you in the past

Grab hold of her fast
You'll do all you can to keep her under your control

Before her feet leave the floor
You don't want her to have a chance to leave and escape your grasp

And she's out the door
If she leaves, you'll lose your control over her

Cause you want
You're doing all this control to keep her to yourself

And in your own mind
You know what you're doing is wrong

You know you're lucky just to know her
She's a valuable possession to you, rather than someone to be cherished

And in the beginning all you wanted
You only wanted her to possess and control

Was to show her
You wanted to show her that you were in charge

But now you're scared
You're scared of losing that control

You think she's running away
You fear she may be leaving you

You search in your hand for something clever to say
You want to think of something manipulative to say to make her stay

Don't go away
You want her to stay by any means necessary

Cause I want
You want her to stay because you don't want to lose control over her

To keep you in my pocket
To keep controlling her and prevent her from leaving

Where there's no way out
To keep her trapped under your control with no escape

Put it in the safe and lock it
To keep her locked away from the rest of the world, under your watchful eye

Cause it's home sweet home
This is where you want her to be, under your control and without freedom
