I Can’t Control Myself (Demo)

[Intro: Pete Shelley]
1, 2, 3

[Hook: Shelley]
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Verse 1: Howard Devoto, Shelley]
I can't stand still 'cause you've got me goin'
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Your slacks are low, and your hips are showin'
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Chorus 1: Devoto]
I take you, girl, as you're standing there
Your low cut slacks, and your long black hair
You make me move, yeah, like no one else
And when I'm with you, I can't control myself

[Verse 2: Devoto, Shelley]
Defense is down, and she got me shakin'
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
You've got me so that my nerves are breakin'
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Chorus 2: Devoto]
If you knew me like I know you, girl
Your knees would bend, and your hair would curl
You make me move, yeah, like no one else
And when I'm with you, I can't control myself

[Bridge: Devoto]
I get this a-feeling that's inside of me
It makes me think of a-how things a-used to be
It makes me feel alright when I'm with you at night
And we love, yes, we love

[Hook: Shelley]
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Verse 3: Devoto, Shelley]
You fill me so with this big temptation
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
This kind of feeling could destroy a nation
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba

[Chorus 3: Devoto]
But, I'm okay, when I'm here with you
I do the things that you want me to
I do these things for no one else
'Cause when I'm with you, I can't control myself

[Outro: Devoto, Shelley]
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)
Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (I can't control myself)
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I'm losin' control of myself
Losin' control of myself
I lost
I lost
I lost
I lost
I lost, I lost
I lost, I lost
I lost, I lost
Losin' control of myself
Losin' con-
Losin' con-
