I'm in control I like crashing waves But I want to see them at first light After a long night And see the sky take shape But I want to see the stars burn After I had my turn And ooh, ooh You're working so hard You played your card So what's the payoff? And ooh, ooh Big talk is cheap You gotta go deeper than deep To get me off If you're picking up my call Gotta tell you once you know that I'm in control I'm in control Don't you know I want it all? Put your hands against the wall I'm in control, I'm in control I'm in control She a tell me she in control a mi love Gyal get caught up when mi turn her up Boy knows she gon start, wind up Love how she smile when we run, tied up Baby yuh full o' action like wide-eyed and You not dem, like night-night gyal Bubble like champagne, I spray gun All night, me a give you love And ooh, ooh You're working so hard You played your card So what's the payoff? And ooh, ooh Big talk is cheap You gotta go deeper than deep To get me off If you're picking up my call Gotta tell you once you know that I'm in control I'm in control Don't you know I want it all? Put your hands against the wall I'm in control, I'm in control All night, me a give you love I'm in control Hey gal Control of you, control of the master Tonight me a take off your shorts I'mma feel up your fat pum pum inna your drawers All night, mi a watchin' a the dance Oh right mi a pray for your legs like a fast Gyal you di favorite all up in di mass So you're in control, but mi a di real boss, gyal (I'm in control) If you're picking up my call Gotta tell you once you know that ('Cause she in control of me love) I'm in control Don't you know I want it all?
