You walk into the room, everybody stares

The talking stops, there's a silence there

The room is yours, you own it now

You're in control and everybody down here knows

You got a place in my heart, I don't want you there

You take a walk right across my soul

You're in control and everybody down here knows



You're the life and the death of the party

You got my heart right by the throat

You're the life and the death of the party

When the stage lights rise

You start and stop the show



You love me bad, you love me good

You're unimpressed, that's understood

I lost it all, you knew I would

You're in control and everybody down here knows



You're the life and the death of the party

You got my heart right by the throat

You're the life and the death of the party

When the stage lights rise

You start and stop the show



It's just one night

It's just one time

It's just one hotel room

It's just another dream



You're the life and the death of the party

You got my heart right by the throat

You're the life and the death of the party

When the stage lights rise

You start and stop the show
