Self Control Lyrics By Laura Branigan

    verse
    oh the night is my world
    city light painted girl
    in the day nothing matters
    it’s the night time that flatters
    in the night no control
    through the wall something’s breaking
    wearing white as you’re walkin’
    down the street of my soul

    pre
    you take my self you take my self control
    you got me livin’ only for the night
    before the morning comes the story’s told
    you take my self you take my self control
    another night another day goes by
    i never stop myself to wonder why
    you help me to forget to play my role
    you take my self you take my self control

    i i live among the creatures of the night
    i haven’t got the will to try and fight
    against a new tomorrow so i guess i’ll just believe it
    that tomorrow never comes
    a safe night i’m living in the forest of a dream
    i know the night is not as it would seem
    i must believe in something so i’ll make myself believe it
    that this night will never go

    break
    ohohoh ohohoh
    ohohoh ohohoh
    ohohoh ohohoh
    ohohoh ohohoh

    verse
    oh the night is my world
    city light painted girl
    in the day nothing matters
    it’s the night time that flatters

    i i live among the creatures of the night
    i haven’t got the will to try and fight
    against a new tomorrow so i guess i’ll just believe it
    that tomorrow never knows
    a safe night i’m living in the forest of a dream
    i know the night is not as it would seem
    i must believe in something so i’ll make myself believe it
    that this night will never go

    break
    ohohoh ohohoh
    ohohoh ohohoh
    ohohoh

    you take my self you take my self control
    you take my self you take my self control
    you take my self you take my self control
    you take my self you take my self control
    you take my self you take my self control
    you take my self you take my self control
    you take my self you take my self control
    you take my self you take my self control

    i i live among the creatures of the night
    i haven’t got the will to try and fight
    it’s my world
    city light painted girl
