Lyrics
You really got a hold on me
You have a significant influence over me.
You really got a hold and it's feelin' good
Your influence is strong and it brings a positive sensation.
You really got control of me
Your control over me is substantial.
I should've gotten out when I thought I could
I should have ended this relationship when I had the chance.
Oh oh oh
Expressing emotional intensity.
Try as I might
Despite efforts, I find myself in a losing struggle.
I'm a fool in a losing fight
I am foolish and engaged in a battle I can't win.
I can't escape the bullet's bite
I can't avoid the consequences.
'Cause the enemy's in sight
The threat is clearly visible.
Sign on the dotted line
Agreement or commitment to something.
Take your pick, have a bite
Metaphorically choosing a path, making a decision.
When seduction starts
Beginning of seduction.
I know it won't stop
Realization that seduction won't stop easily.
Till I give you the things
Committing to things that are hard to deny.
I can't deny
Admitting to the undeniable.
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Feeling entrapped and under someone's influence.
But I'm not quite what you thought I'd be
Not conforming to expectations.
You really got a hold on me
Reiterating the significant influence.
You got a hold and it's feelin' good
The influence brings positive feelings.
I want you to got control of me
Emphasizing the extent of control.
I should've gotten out when I thought I could
Regretting not ending the relationship earlier.
You gotta have control of
Stating the necessity of control.
You never had control of me
Denying past influence or control.
You got to have a hold of me
Expressing the need for someone's influence.
You never had control of, control of me
Contrasting previous lack of control.
You got to have control of me
Affirming the need for control.
But you never have control of me
Contradicting the idea of complete control.
You got to have a hold of me
Repeating the theme of being held.
But you never had control of, control of me oh
Emphasizing the absence of full control.
