I give you power, over me

I give you power, but now I gotta be free

I give you power, but now I say

I give you power, I can take it away

I can take it away

Woo!

I give you power, I give you power

Over me, over me

I give you power, I give you power

But now I gotta be free, but I gotta be free

I give you power, I give you power

But now I say, but now I say

I give you power, I give you power

I can take it away, I can take it away

I can take it away

Watch me take it away

Watch me, I can take it away

Watch me take it away

Watch the night

I give you power, I give you power

Over me, over me

I give you power, I give you power

But now I gotta be free, but I gotta be free

I give you power, I give you power

But now I say, but now I say

I give you power, I give you power

I can take it away, I can take it away

I can take it away

I give you power, over me

I give you power, but I gotta be free (gotta be free)

I give you power, now I say

I can't watch you take it away

Woo!

I give you power, I give you power

Over me, over me

I give you power, I give you power

But now I gotta be free, but I gotta be free

I give you power, I give you power

But now I say, but now I say

I give you power, I give you power

I can take it away, I can take it away

I can take it away

Well, ooh, oooh

Oooh, oooh

I give you power (power)

Where do you think it all comes from? Huh?

Who gives you power? (power)

Where do you think it all comes from?

I give you power

I can take it all away, I can take it away

Watch me take it away

Watch me take it away

Watch me now take it away

Watch me
