Control Freak (don't Mess) Lyrics - Poe

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!
