Lyrics
[Intro]
Baby, I cannot control the world, when I can't even control myself
And I know this life was meant for me, because I can't be like someone else
Getting tired of all these twists and turns, so I'ma really need your help
'Cause baby, I cannot control the world, when I can't even control myself
[Verse 1]
It was a stormy night not a star in the sky, only stars you could see in the ceiling
I told her "Hold me tight and take a look in my eyes", now you wonder the way that I'm feeling
If you are who I think you are then you lend your hands to me
But tonight, so I think it's time to make up my mind then leave
'Cause I'm through with all you do to me
And it's true that love is all I need
[Chorus]
Baby, I cannot control the world when I can't even control myself
And I know this life was meant for me because I can't be like someone else
Getting tired of all these twists and turns so I'ma really need your help
'Cause baby I cannot control the world when I can't even control myself
[Bridge]
Can't even control myself talkin' to myself like "Self, don't ignore myself"
I told myself, that I owe myself, more myself
This world crazy like Ms. Daisy almost drove myself
I'm sure I need love but not sure if I'm sure of myself
She full of herself, like the only one she forward's herself
But mourning myself, don't want myself to corner myself
Killin' myself, be the only one mourning myself
I'm ownin' myself, I be in my own zone in myself
Keep my thoughts all to myself, I be tryna' keep my heart to myself
It's an art in itself, but you could keep me all to yourself, because, baby, (Love is all I need, yeah yeah yeah)
[Chorus]
Baby, I cannot control the world when I can't even control myself
And I know this life was meant for me, because I can't be like someone else
Getting tired of all these twists and turns, so I'ma really need your help
'Cause baby, I cannot control the world, when I can't even control myself (I can't even control the world)
