You got the power
To keep my fire a-burnin'
You got the power
To keep my wheels a-turnin'

You keep me hot, don't stop
Give me what you got, oh yeah
Turn on the juice, turn loose
Ain't that no excuse, oh no, no, no

You got the power
To keep my fire a-burnin'(burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up)
You got the power
To keep my wheels a-turnin'

You put the strain on the brain
Girl, I'm goin' insane, oh yeah
You turn me out, make me shout
What's it all about?
Turn me out, make me shout

You got the power
To keep my fire a-burnin'(burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up)
You got the power
To keep my wheels a-turnin'

And now tonight hold me tight
Feel like dynamite, oh yeah
You make me sweat, soakin' wet
Ain't through nothin' yet

You got the power
To keep my fire a-burnin'(burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up)
You got the power
To keep my wheels a-turnin'

I feel the rush when we touch
Never get enough, oh no
Save the best, don't go for less
Got to make it last all night, all right

You got the power
To keep my fire a-burnin' (burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up)
You got the power
To keep my wheels a-turnin'

You got the power
To keep my fire a-burnin'(burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up)
You got the power
To keep my wheels a-turnin'

You got the power
To keep my fire a-burnin'(burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up)
You got the power
