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
