Staying Power Lyrics

[Intro]
Huh
Let me show it to you
Yeah
Uh
Hey, yeah

[Verse 1]
See what I got
I got a hell of a lot (Yeah)
Tell me what you feel
Is it real? Is it real? (C'mon)
You know I got what it takes
And I can take a lot

[Chorus]
Did you hear the last call, baby?
You and me got staying power (Yeah), yeah!
You and me, we got, ahn
Staying power (Who-whoa!)
Staying power, I got it, I got it
Ha!

[Post-Chorus]
I wonder when we're gonna make it
I wonder when we're gonna shake it

[Verse 2]
Rock me, baby, rock me
C'mon, you can shock me
Let's catch on to the groove
Make it move, make it move, yeah
You know how to shake that thing
We'll work it, work it, work it

[Chorus]
You and I can play ball, baby
You and me got staying power, yeah (Yeah)
You and me, we got staying power

[Instrumental Break]
C'mon! Haha! Woo!
Hahaha! Woo!
Yeah, c'mon!
Wu! That's right!
Ooh!
Ho! Yeah, yeah, yeah, ahn, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I wonder when we're gonna make it
I wonder when we're gonna shake it (C'mon)

[Verse 3]
I've got fire down below
I'm just a regular dynamo
Want some smooth company
Don't lose control, just hang on out with me
Got to get to know each other
But we got plenty of time

[Chorus]
Did you hear the last call, baby?
You and me got staying power, yeah, huh
You and me, we got staying power

[Bridge]
(Ah! Yeah, yeah!)
Power, power, power, power
Power, power, power, power
Power

[Post-Chorus]
I wonder when we're gonna stick it
I wonder when we're gonna trick it

[Verse 4]
Blow, baby, blow
Let's get down and go go
Get yourself in the mood
Got to give a little bit of attitude
Baby, don't you crash
Let just trash, trash, trash

[Chorus]
Did you hear the last call, baby?
You and me got staying power, yeah (Ahn! Huh!)
You and me, we got (Huh!) staying power

[Post-Chorus]
(I like it) Staying power

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Gotcha
