(I'V Got No) Self Control
Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates
Your my one temptation
i never felt before
i feel a strong attraction
a strange reaction
it leaves me wanting more
I'm outta my mind
I'm outta my head
I'm losing my heart
I'm easily led
Like nothing before
As good as it gets
Your making me hot
Your making me sweat
Chorus
I've got no, no self control
When im with you, oh
what I'l give you baby
I'v got no, no self control
When im round you
I'm losing it all for you
I'm under no illution
I'm in such confusion
I can't help myself
I think i need protection
From a deep affection
Don't want nobody else
I'm fallin apart
I want you to know
The more you resist
The deeper i go
The longer i wait
The weaker i get
Your making me hot
Your making me sweat
Chorus x2
I've got no, no self control
When im with you, oh
what I'l give you baby
I'v got no, no self control
When im round you
I'm losing my head now
Baby Baby
I'm fallin apart
I want you to know
The more you resist
The deeper i go
The longer i wait
The weaker i get
Your making me hot
Your making me sweat x2
I've got no, no self control
When im with you, oh
what I'l give you baby
I'v got no, no self control
When im round you
I'm losing it all for you
I've got no, no self control
When im with you, oh
what I'l give you baby
I'v got no, no self control
When im round you
I'm losing it all for you
