Under Control Lyrics
I don't want to waste your time,
I don't want to waste your time.
I just want to say -
I've got to say,
We worked hard, darling
We don't have no control
We're under control
I don't want to do it your way,
I don't want to do it your way.
I don't want to give it to you, your way.
I don't want to know...
I don't want to change your mind,
I don't want to change the world.
I just want to watch it go by.
I just want to watch you go by.
We were young, darling
We don't have no control
We're out of control
I don't want to do it your way,
I don't want to do it your way.
I don't want to give it to you, your way.
I don't want to know...
I don't want to change your mind,
I don't want to waste your time.
I just want to know you're alright.
I've got to know you're alright;
You are young, darling
For now, but not for long
Under control.
I don't want to waste your time.
I just want to say -
I've got to say,
We worked hard, darling
We don't have no control
We're under control
I don't want to do it your way.
I don't want to give it to you, your way.
I don't want to know...
I don't want to change the world.
I just want to watch it go by.
I just want to watch you go by.
We were young, darling
We don't have no control
We're out of control
I don't want to do it your way.
I don't want to give it to you, your way.
I don't want to know...
I don't want to waste your time.
I just want to know you're alright.
I've got to know you're alright;
You are young, darling
For now, but not for long
Under control.

ABout a relationship that kind of run its course, regardless of who wanted it to - young love that wasn't supposed to workout. He's not happy about it, but he's not bitter. He just wishes her well. Not enough songs like this.
