I´ve got the power
by: Jennifer HollidayWhen a man lays his cards on the table trying to make a name
Looking for a miracle, looking for something that he does notknow
Walking the streets and there's nowhere to go
When a man's got to fight to keep on dreaming
And the whole world seems like it's plotted and see man layingodds
if he's gonna lose, he's gonna need the strength that comes fromyou
A woman's got the strength, a woman's got the power
Keep a man up, never let him down, yeah.
When a man's got to his bottom dollar
And his foolish pride fills with more than he can swallow
When it seems his shame is more than he can bare
And his hopes and dreams are fading into thin air
When a man finds he struggles in vain
And he's holding a losing hand playing a losing game
And he finds he's got his back to the wall
He needs you there to pick him up should he fall
A woman's got the strength, a woman's got the power
Keep a man up, never let him down.
You've got to love him, squeeze him, hold him in your arms, neverleave him.
A woman's got the strength, a woman's got the power...
I got the strength, I got the power...
We got the strength, we got the power...
Everybody got the strength, strength, strength...
