Self Control Lyrics

Artist: Laura Branigan

Self Control
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
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-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

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
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control ... [fade out]

I like this song.

by Marco on 9/22/2011 9:56am
This is a song wrote and sung by RAF (and G.Bigazzi, two of the best italian singer and songwriter) in 1984. This song reached 1st position in Italian chart (and most of Europe) pushed RAF to its way of success. But it was his first and last song sung in English as he started from the next work to sing in his mother language. Laura, although has performed a very successful re-arranged version, is not the author neither the music nor the lyrics. Raf is still in activity and has become one of the most fancy songwriter in his country.

by pmb on 9/23/2011 12:05am
An excellent song; she didn't get as much credit as she truely deserves. God rest her soul.

Just today I discovered Laura. Shocked at what I've missed. I'm crying with admiration. Known nothing so emotional, talented, total bold over by her personality. I want this woman to be here - to share all that she gives to us mere mortals. I'm a bore , she an inspiration. Wow, wow.

by Amir on 2/1/2014 11:06am
It's great. Congrats Laura

by Guillermo on 7/24/2015 10:12am
Ahhh! Que bonitos recuerdos de aquellos tiempos. Tan hermosos de loa años 80's. Muchas gracias por la letra de esa hermosa canción.
