Let me get this out,
Before you turn me down
Let me say my piece,
Before you go and turn the other cheek

Let me have my say,
Before it's not too late
Let me have my way,
Before this all is set into concrete
Can you feel the same heat?

I'm a control freak;
I've been like this lately
I'll do what you ask if you don't force me to
I'm a control freak;
You may think I'm crazy
Don't be surprised if you hate what I do
I've been trying to control you, control you

Let me talk you down,
Before you make a sound
If you can crush my doubt,
Then finally we can walk to the same beat
I can feel it within me

I'm a control freak;
I've been like this lately
I'll do what you ask if you don't force me to
I'm a control freak;
You may think I'm crazy
Don't be surprised if you hate what I do
I've been trying to control you

Please don't get mad
Because of something I said
Please don't be hurt
That's just absurd
I'm bound to get what I deserve

I'm a control freak;
I've been like this lately
I'll do what you ask if you don't force me to
I'm a control freak;
You may think I'm crazy
Don't be surprised if you hate what I do
I've been trying to control you, trying to control you,
Control you
