Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger) Lyrics

Hung around with big shots Never knew love was in the sights I guess I missed the target Caught up in a different line of fire But I know since I've been aiming For the sweetness in your soul Your name is on the bullet And it's gettin' ready to explode There's be a change inside my life (And just wanna let you know) I've got my finger on the trigger Love is in control, whooo I've got my finger on the trigger Ah, yeah I ain't lettin' go Mama used to tell me Girl, you better load your gun up right She said ya, ya gotta come out smokin' Hit it with your best shot every time Well I didn't understand her 'Til you walked right into range I saw your love at twenty paces And I knew I'd won the game You better raise your heart up high (Or love will blow you right away) I've got my finger on the trigger Love is in control, whooo I've got my finger on the trigger I ain't lettin' go, whoooo I've got my finger on the trigger Love is in control I've got my finger on the trigger I ain't lettin' go Leave off the safety catch There ain't no risk We're gonna have some fun, whoooo I've got cha, love's begun So stay with me Until the mornin' sun, whooo (You're superbullet number one) [Instrumental Interlude] There's been a change inside my life (And I just wanna let you know) I've got my finger on the trigger Love is in control I've got my finger on the trigger I ain't lettin' go I've got my finger on the trigger Love is in control I've got my finger on the trigger I ain't lettin' go...

Meaning of Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)

“Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)” is a wildly provocative exploration of passion and obsession, delivered with Donna Summer’s signature dramatic flair. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman transforming into a lethal hunter, driven by an intense love that demands conquest. Initially oblivious, she learns from her mother's warning to “load your gun up right,” embracing a strategy where love becomes a weapon – a carefully aimed shot ready to explode with emotion. The repeated phrase "I’ve got my finger on the trigger" symbolizes this deliberate control and unwavering commitment, fueled by a desire for complete possession.
