Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get that feelin', head is reelin'
You think you're in control, but you don't know me, babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way
[Verse 2]
And I don't think you understand
What I'm tryin' to say
I'll be your operator, baby
I'm in control
[Verse 3]
Watch your action, close reaction
And everything you're thinkin', babe, inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do you do unless I said
[Verse 4]
And you don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be your operator, baby
I'm in control
[Verse 5]
All the things you tried to do, babe
And all the words we've said before
Are only part of what I started, baby
And you can't stop me anymore
[Verse 6]
Get that feelin', head is reelin'
You think you're in control, but you don't know me, babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way
[Verse 7]
And I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator, baby
I'm in control
