You can try, but you can’t control me 
And you can try, but you just can’t mold me 
Well, you can try, all night 
You can try, but you can’t control me 
Well you can try, it won’t work 
But you can try, no you can’t control me 

No earpiece to tell me how to sound 
No gas pedal to rev me up or slow me down 
No queer eye to tell me what to wear 
No Voodoo doll to help me style my hair 
You can try, it won’t work 
Yeah you can try, but you can’t control me 

Ain’t no wine that’ll calm me down 
You can’t light my fires with that sexy nightie-gown 
No puppet strings to pull me back and forth 
No steering wheel to keep me driving north 
You can try, it won’t work 
But you can try, but you can’t control me 

You can try, but you can’t control me 
And you can try, but you just can’t mold me 
Well, you can try, all night 
You can try, but you can’t control me 
You can try, it won’t work 
But you can try, and you can’t control me 

Try, try, try 
Try, try, try 
Try 
Try, try, try 
You can try, it won’t work 
But you can try, no you can’t control me, no, no
