The Power
You're the kind of girl who studied in school
And practiced your fashion
You're the kind of girl who followed the the rules
But couldn't get any action

I'm the girl who
Laughed at teacher
Partied under the bleachers and drank
At graduation
My name got mentioned
The room reacted like they did a mistake

Well I stood up
And I commenced
To speak the commencement speech
I stood up in my robes of silk
Mmm, and I looked over the heads of the crowd and I told them
I said

I've got the answer here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
You're the guy who wears the right kind of clothes
With that subtle behavior
I'm the kind of woman who knows
How to get someone to do me a favor

I'm in trouble
You're not a lover
You feel the world through a telephone touch
You've made some money
Congratulations
Bet you're dying to tell me how much

When I was a little girl
My mama gave me a bowl cut and told me I looked like Dorothy Hamill
Everywhere we went people would say, "What a cute little boy!"
Well I'm all grown up now

I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power

Come feel the power

I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
I'm not done
Come feel the power
Come feel the power
Come, come, come feel the power
