Leo Sayer - Lost Control Lyrics

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

Yes I was, 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 yeah, oh I lost control
I couldn't tell this whole world had shattered

Lover, all 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 anybody around
Who would try him?
And this is what happened

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 that you lost control
You ran to me and it felt
Like a whole new feeling, yeah, yeah
Oh, you lost control

You had an open wound
That I was so good at healing
Hey, but all you could see
Was the good side of me

And you lost control
Oh, you know that 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, I lost control, that's what I did

I just lost control
My whole world had changed around
And you were runnin' free
When you came to me

Oh, we tried and we tried our best
But you and me, babe
And him as well
We're all losing in the game

Loves like that, ain't it
You lost, lost, you lost, you lost
All your control, oh baby
I believe to my soul
