Control Freak (don't Mess) Lyrics

Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
Surprise you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawling
The walls like a tiny mosquito
And trembling in fear
Well, you may be king for the moment
But I am queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops and castles
All in the palm of my hand
[chorus]
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole
In me
Don't you mess with a little girl's dream 'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
I am beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly
You're scared to let through
You thought you could keep me from loving
You thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole
[chorus]
I was gaining control
I have taken control
Come a little bit closer...
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit of doubt, it's true
But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool!
