Lyrics
I knew when I first saw you
That I wouldn’t have no say
Well that’s what I’m expectin
Know it’s gonna be your way
But hey
If it means I’m gettin closer
And don’t need to be too shy
If it means I get to hold you
Then girl
I won’t tell no lie
You can
Call the shots
And tell me
All that you
Want me to do
Yeah just
Call the shots
And ask me
‘Cos I’m so hung up on you
[Music Interlude]
I don’t care about
Those other guys
Don’t need to know your past
Girl
I know this
Won’t be no long term thing
Not thinkin it will last
Hey
But for now
I don’t mind sayin
Mmm baby
You’re lookin hot
So,
It’s cool that when
I’m with you
I’ll let you
Call the shots
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Ha
Hold you tight
And when wer’e dancin
Brush your lips
Close to my ear
Whisper all the things
That’s comin
Tell me what I wanna hear
Oh yeah
Call the shots
And you can tell me
All that you
Want me to do
Yeah
Just call the shots
And ask me
‘Cos I’m so hung up on you
Go ahead girl
Call those shots
You set my eyes on fire
Mmm
Those hips are swayin hot
Gonna give you such
A good time girl
Give it everythin I got
I know it’s just a fun time
Don’t know that it will last
But that’s ok with me girl
Livin life
Is just that fast
Yeah
Call the shots
And you can tell me
All that you
Want me to do

Thank you for your comments.
I possibly made an error in entering this song for the ‘lyrics only’ contest.
It has gone down quite well in the actual song comp, to which it is better suited, rather than as a stand alone lyrical piece
