Take Control Lyrics by Amerie

Because I Love It

2006

[Intro]
Bop it
Bop it
Hey!
Wait a minute
Hey!

[Verse 1]
I said baby, I love the way that you hold me
And you touch me li-like you know me
See I don't want nobody else, huh
And I, I'm 'bout to offer all I can give him
'Cause I'm a slave to his rhythm
I said I just can't help myself

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby I love ya (I love ya)
And I trust ya (And I trust ya)
You don't have to worry 'bout nothing (Ooh)
Ooh I'm alive right now, look at me
And I want ya (I want ya)
No I need ya (No I need ya)
And I'll do anything to please ya (Ooh)
I just want you to take control of me (Take control)

[Chorus]
I said hey, hey
Show me how you want it now
(Do you) like it when I take it down?
I got everything
And anything you need, I wanna bring it to you baby
Hey, hey
Come a little closer now
(Don't stop) wanna go another round
You got everything
And anything I need, want you to bring it to me baby

[Post-Chorus]
Take control of me (Take control of me)
Take control of me (Take control of me)
Take control of me (Take control of me)
Take control

[Verse 2]
I said baby, I gotta tell you how much I love it
The way you kiss my neck in public
I try my best not to blush
Even when, an argument comes around
You take the time to break it down
And you're never ever in a rush
(Never never never ever, never ever)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm scared (I'm scared)
And I'm nervous (And I'm nervous)
Trying is always worth it (Ooh)
Ooh I'm alive right now, look at me
And I want him (I want him)
I need him (And I need him)
I'll find him, I'll forgive him, I'll feed him (Ooh)
I just want you to take control of me (Take control)

[Chorus]
I said hey, hey
Show me how you want it now
(Do you) like it when I take it down?
I got everything
And anything you need, I wanna bring it to you baby
Hey, hey
Come a little closer now
(Don't stop) wanna go another round
You got everything
And anything I need, want you to bring it to me baby

[Post-Chorus]
Take control of me (Take control of me)
Take control of me (Take control of me)
Take control of me (Take control of me)
Take control

[Bridge]
Now if you feel what I feel, come and take control of me
Don't you know how you feelin'? Just take control of me
'Cause you got my soul on fire and I feel just fine
You got what I need, na na na na
(Na na na na, hey hey hey) Hey hey hey!
(Na na na na, hey hey hey)
(Take control) Woo!

[Chorus]
I said hey, hey
Show me how you want it now (Show me how you want it)
(Do you) like it when I take it down?
I got everything
And anything you need, I wanna bring it to you baby (Oh)
Hey, hey
Come a little closer now (Come a little closer)
(Don't stop) wanna go another round
You got everything
And anything I need, want you to bring it to me baby (Oh, yeah yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Take control of me (Take control of me) (Take control of me)
Take control of me (Take control of me) (Get closer to me)
Take control of me (Take control of me)
Why don't you come a little closer?

[Outro]
Hey! Ooh!
Na na na na, hey hey hey
Na na na na, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
