POWER by PALLAVI KIDAMBI

It took me awhile to believe
that I had the power to achieve
star status with my body
that a lot of men considered me a hottie (not a thottie)
It was simple and I understood
what a man would do to lay the wood
even though I wouldn't take advantage,
I'mma tell you all that I could manage

I could be the girl you need
I could bring you to your knees
I could be the most extreme
I could rip you apart at the seams
I could be your love supreme
I could crush your self-esteem
I could really make you believe that I could be the girl of your dreams

I could teach you how to love
I could be your god from above
I could fit you in tight like a glove
I could be the one that you never tire of
I could lay your heart bare
and be the one to give you nightmares
or I could make you feel light as air
or I could leave your life in disrepair

I could be the best you ever had
I could help you become a dad
I could make your love life sad
I could be your breaking bad
I could be your living hell
I could be your mademoiselle
I could put you under a spell
If you're Ahab, I could be Jezebel

Oh baby, yeah you know I got the Power
but you gotta open me up like a flower
make me feel like it's your finest hour
if you can't get down then maybe you're a coward

The Power is a double-edged sword
It can be the greatest reward
but it ain't easy to be adored
you gotta keep that shit on lock like a door
gotta do what's good for my health
cause you know that health is wealth
v-steam, take care of myself
keep your body fresh like you never felt

take you to a dreamland
put your world in my hands
heron in the wetlands
driftwood in damp sand
catch you in my fly trap
pull you by your bootstraps
guide you like a maps app
wear you like a snapback
fit you in my backpack
read you like a paperback
play you like a soundtrack
run you like a racetrack
watch you like a playback
ride you like on horseback
flip you like a flapjack
sip you like you're cognac

Oh baby, yeah you know I got the Power
but you gotta open me up like a flower
make me feel like it's your finest hour
if you can't get down then maybe you're a coward
Oh baby, yeah you know I got the Power
but you gotta open me up like a flower
make me feel like it's your finest hour
if you don't go then maybe you're a coward
