You walk in 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 knowsYou got a place in my heart, I don't want you there
But you come and you go, like a millionaire
You take a walk right across my soul
You're in control and everybody down here knowsYou'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 showYou 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 knowsYou'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
And with your head held high you start and stop the showIt's just one night, it's just one time, it's just one hotel room
It's just another dream that can't come trueYou'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
And when the stage lights rise you start and stop the showYou got my heart right by the throat
You're the life and the death of the party
And with your head held high you start and stop the show
You got my heart right by the throat
You're the life and the death of the party
And when the stage lights rise you start and stop the showYou got my heart right by the throat
You're the life and the death of the party
