I turn my head
I can't shake the look you gave
And I'm as good as dead
'Cause oh, those eyes are all it takes and all
I want is you
So I pulled away
All I do is sit and wait
And I might as well
Write the words right on my face
That all, I want, is you
Always you

Because I've kept my heart under control
But lately, all this time has taken its toll
Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul
Oh, so darling please forgive me
I want you and you'll just have to know

And all my fears
Creep and crawl across my skin, these four walls
Are after me and moving in
And all, all that I want to do
Oh, is give up, give in
And let this one see where it is
But I don't suppose I will

Because I've kept my heart under control
But lately, all this time has taken its toll
Said I tried to but I can not back what's deep in my soul
So darling please believe me
I want you and you'll just have to know

One of these days I'm gonna find myself a way
I'll find the courage 'cause I'll find the grace
Oh, and I'm gonna know just what to say
Oh, and you'll walk on up when you want this love
Or when you've had enough and you've given it up

Because I've kept my heart under control
But lately, all this time has taken its toll
I said I tried to but I can not back what's deep in my soul
Oh, so darling please believe me
I want you and you'll just have to know

I've kept my heart
Oh, it's under control baby
Inside it's something that is gold
I said that it's deep down, it's deep down in my soul
Oh, I want you and you'll just have to know
It's under control
Darling, please don't let this go

Baby, baby, baby, baby, please
Baby girl
Oh, it's under control, baby
