Wait for me, honey
Wait for me, honey
I will never get to sleep
I'm a rebel, no
I can never get to sleep
I'm a rebel, rebel, no
Hold me 'til I get to sleep
Oh baby, bring me home to bed
Rebel, rebel, no
Violent dances in my head
Devil, devil, whoa-oh-oh
Rolling steady as a boulder
Not a pebble, pebble whoa-oh-oh
Baby, bring me home to bed
I need you to press me down before my body flies away from me
Your power inside
It rocks me like a lullaby
Your power inside
It rocks me like a lullaby
Your power inside
Oh baby, I just don't know why
Your power inside
Your power inside
Waiting for you
Hurry up
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Can you see my face at all?
My man likes me from behind
Tell the truth I never mind
Cause you-you bomb me with life's humiliations everyday and
You-you bomb me so many times I never find my way
Come on and bomb me
Why won't you bomb me?
Come on and bomb me
Go on and whoa-oh-a-woah-a-oh-ooh-oh
Your power inside
It rocks me like a lullaby
Your power in my mind
It gives me thrills I can't describe
Your face in mine
Oh baby, I just don't know why
Your power inside
Your power
