Tony Joe White
High Powered Love
[Verse 1]
I've been running low on inspiration
Tired of that physical intrigue
There's nothing left to imagination
Living in a world that treats love so carelessly
I don't want no smooth-talking lover
I can't play the role, it just leaves me cold
[Chorus]
I need a high powered love
I want to feel that lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
Too many pretty faces all skin deep
Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven
Who won't spend more time a mirror than he does with me
If you're just looking for a good time
A notch on your gun, well I ain't the one
[Chorus 2]
I want a high powered love
Got to have intensity
High powered love
Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat
[Bridge]
I can't turn back, I'm on a mission
I know there's someone out there for me
[Chorus 3]
I need a high powered love
One that'll defy gravity
High powered love
Got to be strong and keep on lifting me
[Chorus 4]
Yea I need a high powered love
I want to feel that lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me
In the heart with me
