[Verse 1] If I was you, and you were me, you'd want to be winning If you want something bad ya, you gotta wanna give your all 'Cause I believe so much in we and know we're not kidding If you feel the same as me, yo, you gotta want to take the ball
[Pre-Chorus] Now I find out that nothing is given Don't know where the cards may fall All I know is that we've gotta get it We've gotta make it on our own
[Chorus] Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (all on our own) If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (all on our own)
[Verse 2] Now can't you see that all we need to be a go-getter Gotta make your own decisions, you gotta go for what you know There comes a time in our lives, you wanna be bigger Gotta keep, keep on pushing, you gotta learn to take control, yeah
[Pre-Chorus] Now I find out that nothing is given Don't know where the cards may fall All I know is that we've gotta get it We've gotta make it on our own
[Chorus] Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (all on our own) If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (all on our own)
[Break] Gotta, gotta, take it home, gotta, gotta, gotta take it home Ow, Uh Heart & Soul, d-d-dance!
(Oh-we-oh) They're in control (Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it (All on our own) I said they're in control (Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it (Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it (All on our own)
[Chorus 2] Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (all on our own) We got, we got, we got We got, we got, we got If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (all on our own) Too hot to handle, too cold to hold, they're the Ghostbusters and they're in control Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control (all on our own) Gotta, gotta, take it home Gotta, gotta take it home If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (all on our own) Gotta, gotta, take it home Gotta, gotta, gotta take it home
(Oh-we-oh) ow! (Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it (All on our own) (Oh-we-oh) Uh! (Oh-we-oh) Y-Y-Ya know it (All on our own)
[Bridge] Too hot to handle, too cold to hold They're called the Ghostbusters and they're in control Had 'em throwin' a party for a bunch of children While all the while the slime was under the building So they packed up their group, got a grip, came equipped Grabbed their proton packs off their back and they split Found about Vigo, the master of evil Try to battle my boys? That's not legal
[Chorus] [Outro (over Chorus)] They're in control Ya-ya-ya know it I said, they're in, control
