The premise of Laura Branigan's "Self Control" is that the singer is the victim of some type of repression. Basically, the way she conducts herself during daylight hours is not a true reflection of who she is. Nor is it the type of life that she idealizes for herself.
You got me livin' only for the night. - You got me livin ' only for the night. Before the morning comes, the story's told. - Zanim nadejdzie poranek, historia jest opowiedziana. You take my self, you take my self control. - Bierzesz mnie, przejmujesz mojÄ… kontrolÄ™ nad sobÄ…. Another night, another day goes by.
[Intro] F#m C#m [Verse] F#m C#m Oh, the night is my world F#m C#m City light painted girl E Bm In the day nothing matters D A It's the night time that flatters F#m C#m In the night, no control F#m C#m Through the wall something's breaking E Bm Wearing white as you're walkin' D A Down the street of my soul [Pre-Chorus] F#m C#m You take my self
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.
Lyrics. 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
