Self Control (classic summer mix 1992) Songtext
von 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 (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
(You take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it
(You take my self, you take my self control)
This night will never go

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


You take my self, you take myself control (city lights)
You got me livin' only for the night (in the day)
Before the morning comes, the story′s told (it's the night)
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
Tomorrow never knows

A safe night
I′m living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it
But this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

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