| Confusion in her eyes that says it all | |
| She's lost control | |
| And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by | |
| She's lost control | |
| And she gave away the secrets of her past and said | |
| I've lost control again | |
| And of a voice that told her when and where to act, she said | |
| I've lost control again | |
| And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said | |
| I've lost control again | |
| And how I'll never know just why or understand, she said | |
| I've lost control again | |
| And she screamed out, kicking on her side and said | |
| I've lost control again | |
| And seized up on the floor - I thought she'd die - she said | |
| I've lost control [again] | |
| She's lost control again - she's lost control -- | |
| Well I had to phone her friend to state my case and say | |
| [or in the 12\" single and live versions: to state her case] | |
| She's lost control again | |
| And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said | |
| I've lost control again | |
| But she expressed herself in many different ways | |
| Until she lost control again | |
| And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed | |
| I've lost control [again] | |
| She's lost control again - she's lost control -- | |
| The following additional verse is on the 12\" single | |
| and, with minor variations, in some live versions: | |
| I could live a little better with the myths and the lies | |
| When the darkness broke in I just broke down and cried | |
| I could live a little in a wider line | |
| When the change is gone - when the urge is gone | |
| To lose control | |
| When here we come |
