Self Control

Laura Branigan Laura Branigan

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

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 my dream (you take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem (you take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it that this night will never go (you take my self, you take my self control)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Oh, the night is my world
City light, painted girl
In the day, nothing matters
It's the night, time that flatters

(Oh, the night is my world) you take my self, you take my self control
(City light, painted girl) you got me livin' only for the night
(In the day nothing matters) before the morning comes, the story's told
(It's the night time that flatters) 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 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

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)

You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)

I, I live among the creatures of the night (you take my self, you take my self control)
I haven't got the will to try and fight (you take my self, you take my self control)
I'm living in the forest of my dream (you take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem

It's my world (you take my self, you take my self control)
City light, painted girl (you take my self, you take my self control)

You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
