Was it comfort that you sold me?
Is it blackmail when you hold me?
Don't call me lover when you can't say no
But I wish you found it easy though

'Cause you're my perfection
Control my life
You're my protection
Control my life
Just let the fool inside protect the thoughts that hide
Reading me line by line
The big temptation is to make you cry
But the words don't make the mood subside

'Cause you're my perfection
Control my life
You're my protection
Control my life
I know there are other ways to make things work for you
It's not a problem I've devoted much time to
Take control and I can speak myself
Like a satellite
I give sound advice

Precious feelings over
Talk to me while you stay
I wish for you that I could say things right
But I know I've said it wrong tonight
