Staying Power (Remix)

[Verse 1] I don't have a face that makes your grandma want to smile I don't have the milk that makes me want to have a child I don't have the disposition for drinks with the girls I don't sing for straight men 'cause they just ruin the world Wanna be good daughter, but I push my mom away Wanna be good patient, but my doctor makes me pay Wanna save the baby, but I threw away the bath My body's weak, my mind is bleak, there's one thing that I have [Chorus] Staying (Staying) power, I've got the power (I've got the power) Staying (Staying) power, I've got the power Staying, staying Minute or hour Staying [Verse 2] Don't want to be a victim, but I want your sympathy Don't want to be religious, but life brought me to my knees I've got so much to say to you that I want you to know But I don't want to scare you off, I don't want you to go I tried to make myself attractive in the ways I could I tried to turn a failing body into something good If the world could love me, it could take away the hurt But love it doesn't penetrate, the only thing that works is [Chorus] Staying (Staying) power, I've got the power (I've got the power) Staying (Staying) power, I've got the power Staying, staying Minute or hour Staying [Outro] Staying (Staying) power, I've got the power (I've got the power) Staying (Staying) power, I've got the power Staying, staying Minute or hour Staying
