[Intro]
Power and control
[Verse 1]
Give a little, get a lot
That's just how you are with love
Give a little, get a lot
Yeah, you may be good looking
But you're not a piece of art
[Chorus]
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
[Post-Chorus]
Women and men, we are the same
But love will always be a game
We give and take a little more
Eternal game of tug and war
[Verse 2]
Think you're funny, think you're smart
Think you're gonna break my heart
Think you're funny, think you're smart
Yeah, you may be good looking
But you're not a piece of art
[Chorus]
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
[Post-Chorus]
Women and men, we are the same
But love will always be a game
A human vulnerability
Doesn't mean that I am weak
[Bridge]
That I am weak, I am weak
I am weak, I am weak, weak
Weak, weak, weak, weak
[Chorus]
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
[Post-Chorus]
Women and men, we are the same
But love will always be a game
We give and take a little more
Eternal game of tug and war
[Chorus]
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
[Outro]
I'm gonna make you fall
We give and take a little more
'Cause all my life I've been controlled
You can't have peace without a war
Without a war, without a war

In a track-by-track interview about Electra Heart, Marina said:
‘Power & Control" is a song about relationships and how there’s always a power struggle. In the relationships that I’ve had, one person or the other wants the upper hand and I find that interesting, how in any relationship really,...
