Lyrics[]

[Intro]
We're in power mode
We're in power mode
No turning back, 'bout to explode
'Cause baby, we're in power mode

[Verse 1]
(Hm) I can see you watching me
(Hm) You know I'm out of your reach
(Hm) No, baby, don't speak to me
(Hm) I don't fuck with your energy

[Pre-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Baby, don't you know that I got that power?
Rainin' down on you like an April shower
Comin' out your mouth, keep it sweet and sour
Burnin' inside me, an eternal flower
Baby, shut your mouth, put your body on me
You got my attention, but it isn't for keeps
Every woman knows that the world is ours
'Cause everybody knows that sex is power

[Post-Chorus]
We're in power mode

[Verse 2]
(Hm) Think you might bе scared of me
(Hm) My ultra-femininity
(Hm) Try to makе me feel your shame
(Hm) Now the bird has flown the cage

[Pre-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (Fuck me)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (Fuck me)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Baby, don't you know that I got that power?
Rainin' down on you like an April shower
Comin' out your mouth, keep it sweet and sour
Burnin' inside me, an eternal flower
Baby, shut your mouth, put your body on me
You got my attention, but it isn't for keeps
Every woman knows that the world is ours
'Cause everybody knows that sex is power

[Bridge]
I know you're not used to this
I've been stuck in chrysalis
Like a bloody butterfly
I had to grow new wings to fly
Fly away and escape
From your hands and use the man

[Chorus]
Baby, don't you know that I got that power?
Rainin' down on you like an April shower
Comin' out your mouth, keep it sweet and sour
Burnin' inside me, an eternal flower
Baby, shut your mouth, put your body on me
You got my attention, but it isn't for keeps
Every woman knows that the world is ours
'Cause everybody knows that sex is power

[Outro]
Ooh
We're in power mode (Ooh)
No turning back, 'bout to explode
'Cause baby, we're in power mode
