You Got The Power

War · Icon [2011]

You got the power

To keep my fire a-burnin'

You got the power

To keep my wheels a-turnin'



You keep me hot, don't stop

Give me what you got, oh yeah

Turn on the juice, turn loose

Ain't that no excuse, oh no, no, no



You got the power

To keep my fire a-burnin'

You got the power

To keep my wheels a-turnin'



You put the strain on the brain

Girl, I'm goin' insane, oh yeah

You turn me out, make me shout

What's it all about?

Turn me out, make me shout



You got the power

To keep my fire a-burnin'

You got the power

To keep my wheels a-turnin'



And now tonight hold me tight

Feel like dynamite, oh yeah

You make me sweat, soakin' wet

Ain't through nothin' yet



You got the power

To keep my fire a-burnin'

You got the power

To keep my wheels a-turnin'



I feel the rush when we touch

Never get enough, oh no

Save the best, don't go for less

Got to make it last all night, all right



You got the power

To keep my fire a-burnin'

You got the power

To keep my wheels a-turnin'



You got the power

To keep my fire a-burnin'

You got the power

To keep my wheels a-turnin'



You got the power

To keep my fire a-burnin'

You got the power
