I Lost Control

ⓒ 2020 the balboans   

Tried to be cool, suave and aloof

My eyes betray me and my smile is my proof

Functionally awkward, foot in front of foot

Just because you think you can, doesn’t mean you could

And I couldn’t if I want to, and I don’t think I do

Love to say that I could swan across the room, but it wouldn’t be true.

And there’s a biting of tongues and a holding of breath

So many things I shouldn’t of and still almost said

So I bottle it in, cover it up

And I smooth all the edges that are so inherently rough

And I blend with the wall, and I hide behind the pole

You ask me to dance and I, I, I…….

I lost control, I lost control, I lost control

Strike up the band, set me a fire

Make me go dizzy with your sways of desire

And spin me around, so I can no longer stand

Throw me about just don’t let go of my hand

And pull me close when the song turns slow

Whisper in my ear the steps that you know

And there’s a melding of tongues and a bearing of souls

You ask me to dance and I, I, I……..

I lost control, I lost control, I lost control, I lost control

Solo

I lost control, I lost control, I lost control, I lost control
