[Intro: Renée]
Uh, oh-oh, oh
[Verse 1: Stella & Renée]
When I met you at the party
No, you didn't seem the type (Yeah)
To overstep the boundaries
And try control my life (Life)
[Pre-Chorus: Renée]
And I could be out with my girls
You be blowin' up my number
Pick up the phone
Now you say you're comin' over
Too comfortable
We only just met each other
Just 'cause
[Chorus: Jorja, Renée, Stella & All]
I might let you hold me (Ah)
But I ain't tryna be with no control freak (Ah)
How'd you get to thinkin' that you own me?
Bro, please, must've bumped your head
Baby, don't forget, only
Only you be tryna cuff me like the police (Cuff, cuff, cuff; ooh)
Whеn you talkin' to me, watch your tone, G (Ooh)
Take it slowly, you control frеak
[Interlude: Renée]
Uh, oh-oh, oh, tell 'em, tell 'em
[Verse 2: Jorja, Renée & Stella]
Bet you think you're kinging somethin' (Yeah, yeah)
Well, boy, you ain't the king of nothin' (Yeah, yeah)
You're reachin' if you call this lovin'
Ple-Ple-Ple-Please, won't you get a grip?
[Pre-Chorus: Renée, Stella, Jorja & All]
I could be out with my girls
You be blowin' up my number (Ah-ooh)
Pick up the phone
Now you say you're comin' over (Ah-ooh)
Too comfortable
We only just met each other (Ah-ooh)
Just because
[Chorus: Jorja, Stella, Renée & All]
I might let you hold me (Hold me)
But I ain't tryna be with no control freak (Control freak)
How'd you get to thinkin' that you own me? (No, no, no)
Bro, please, must've bumped your head
Baby, don't forget (Don't forget), only (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You be tryna cuff me like the police (Cuff, cuff, cuff)
When you talkin' to me, watch your tone, G
Take it slowly, you control freak
[Bridge: MNEK, Renée, Stella, Jorja & (All)]
You can't control me (Oh no)
I'ma leave you lonely (I'ma leave you lonely, boy)
