Self Control (club mix 1992) Songtext
von Laura Branigan

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 nighttime 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 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 (oh-oh-oh)

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

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


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

I, I live among the creatures of the night (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I haven't got the will to try and fight (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I′m living in the forest of a dream (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I know the night is not as it would seem (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Is my world (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
City light, painted girl (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

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