LYRICS:
(verse 1)
I cannot control the way I feel
She said won't you play with something real
I was different than the other boys
Always watching never wanting more

(verse 2)
I cannot control the things I do
She said won't you come I wanted to
Taken to another place in time
Never felt this good or been so high

(chorus)
Is it any wonder what are we doing here
You cannot control this anymore my dear
Is it any wonder what are we doing now
You cannot control me anymore

(bridge)
I tried to live without you for awhile
And I can now control you with a smile
I tried to live my life just for a while
And I can now control you with a smile

(verse 3)
I can now control the way you feel
She said all of this was never real
I'm no different than the other boys
I will leave you never wanting more
