Control Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well it started as a game
Using pleasure, using pain
We got higher and higher that way
But it didn't work today
Even though it felt so right
Nothing's permanent in life
So it's useless to hold on so tight


[Chorus]
You gotta give it up, give it up, give it up, oooh
Give it up, give it up, oooh
Give it up, give it up, you lost control
'Cause nothing stays around too long

[Verse 2]
So now everything has changed
And your heart's been rearranged
Until nothing we've known here remains
And you say you shouldn't stay
As you're taking off your clothes

You think it's loving, I suppose
It's just you endlessly needing control

[Chorus]
Well you gotta give it up, give it up, give it up, oooh
Give it up, give it up, oooh
Give it up, give it up, you lost control
'Cause nothing stays around too long

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
