No Picture camilo Average	#6 by camilo velasquez at Apr 27, 1985 at 5:36 PM EST
	this is my favorite rufio song, the beginning is the best when it is all slow then gets fast n stuff and stuff. but really i cant give them credit for the lyrics cuz madonna made them, but the instrument remake of it is awesome. GO RUFIO!

No Picture cody Average	#10 by cody jay at Mar 4, 2005 at 1:37 AM EST
	rufio is so tite.. their instrumentals are amazing. especially the guitar at [and just in case this confuses u these are times in the song to fastforward to ;)] :30, 1:22, 2:05, and 3:05. yep, those are the best parts fo sho. now, to the meaning.. this song is all about sex man. "you're in control" basically wut he's tryin to say [and this is quite possibly modonna's original intention too] is that basically, he's lettin this chick take control, and he "can feel your [her] power" cuz she's really good ;)

No Picture The Real Slim S Average	#11 by The Real Slim Shady at Jul 22, 2006 at 8:43 PM EST
