Leo Sayer Lost Control Lyrics

Lost Control Lyrics

Writer: Al Kooper

you were out there 
and I thought that you were 
for the asking 
I`ve never been unfair 
but I was looking for a love 
that would be everlasting 

three years of taking 
anything that I could find 
a one night stand -- you understand 
wasn`t what I had in mind 
believe me that I lost control 
I wanted you and that was 
all that really mattered 
oh, I lost control 
I couldn`t tell this whole world 
had shattered 
lover, I could see 
was what you whipped on me 
and I lost my control 

now he was your man 
he had his faults 
but you done your best to stick by him 
but then one day 
bam! bam! he shot you down 
without anyone around who 
would try him 

three years of taking 
anything that he could find 
a one night stand he didn`t understand 
it wasn`t what you had in mind 
and I believe you 
lost control 
you ran to me and it felt 
like a whole new feeling 
you lost control 
you had an open wound 
and I was so good at healing 
but all you could see 
was the good side of me 
and you lost control 

no consideration 
we couldn`t help ourselves inside 
it was a sorry situation 
and he came to me one night 
and he cried 
he said you cut me worse -- ow! 
than any woman ever hurt a man 
I said, my man, I`m real sorry 
but that was not my plan 
and I just believe 

(you see this is what really happened) 

I just lost control -- that`s what I did 
I just lost control 
my whole world had turned around 
and you were runnin` free 
when you came to me 
oh we tried -- we tried our best
