Songtext „Pleasure Control“

Vocals: Curtis McClain

(Spoken Intro)

You say you’re gonna leave me, forever more
But if that’s what you think, then
you don’t know the score
But no matter where you go, I’ll be on your mind
‚Cause a sweeter love than this, you will never find
(Chorus repeat 1x)

I’ve got your Pleasure Control
Nobody knows what I know
I’ve got a hold on your soul
And I’ll never let you go
(Chorus repeat 2x)

I’m never gonna let you go (repeat 4x)
So many others, have tried to have you before
But when you needed love, you came knockin‘ at my door
You’re trying to play a game, with my emotions
And trying to put the test, to my devotion
(Repeat chorus 1 & 2)
