[Verse 1]
The 5-watt rock, it ain't too loud
It ain't too tough, it ain't too proud
It won't reach the back of a stadium
If you wanna do that, you need a bigger kick drum

The 5-watt rock can still get down
Wake up the block and draw a little crowd
And in that crowd, there's a special gal
Who thinks I'm alright 'cause I sing so well

[Chorus]
All that I got, all that I need
All the way up, let it bleed
It's all that I know, 1, 2, 3
Five watts to make you my baby

[Verse 2]
The 5-watt rock has got that sound
And the neighbors won't cry: "turn it down!"
Instead, they'll invite you to their house
With a case of Bud Light and your five watts out

And nobody tries your kill the buzz
File a complaint or call the fuzz
Cause no one denies when you're drive it home
Gettin’ all of that meat off the five-watt bone
[Chorus]
All that I got, all that I need
All the way up, let it bleed
It's all that I know, 1, 2, 3
Five watts to make you my baby

[Bridge]
Five watts to set you free
Five watts to shoot you straight
Out of the mystery
Onto the master tape
Back to the potter’s wheel
Into the mirror's gaze
That's where the tree falls down
You know the sound it makes

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Remember that gal back in verse one (yeah!)
Would you believe we fell in love?
We had a kid and the kid's a champ
And it's all thanks to my little five-watt amp

[Chorus]
All that I got, all that I need
All the way up, let it bleed
It's all that I know, 1, 2, 3
Five watts to make you my baby
All that I got, all that I need
All the way up, let it bleed
It's all that I know, 1, 2, 3
Five watts to make you my baby
