Year:

Written by: 
James Harris III/Terry Lewis/Janet Jackson

When I was 17, I did what people told me
Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago

Control, control, never gonna stop
Control, control, to get what I want
Control, control, I got to have a lot
Control, control, now I'm all grown up

First time I fell in love
I didn't know what hit me
I was so young and so naive
I thought it would be easy
But now I know I've got to take...

Control, control, never gonna stop
Control, control, to get what I want
Control, control, I got to have a lot
Control, control, now I'm all grown up

And that's the truth
I got my own mind
I wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life, my life
I wanna be the one in control
