I don’t have a face that makes your grandma want to smile
I don’t have the milk that makes me want to have a child
I don’t have the disposition for drinks with the girls
I don’t sing for straight men, ‘cause they just ruin the world
Wanna be good daughter, but I push my mom away
Wanna be good patient, but my doctor makes me pay
Wanna save the baby, but I threw away the bath
My body’s weak, my mind is bleak, there’s one thing that I have
Staying power
I’ve got the power
The world, come hurt me, I don’t mind
That’s ‘cause I’ve got
Staying power
Minute or hour
I’ll wait you out, I’ve got all night
All night
I’ve got all night
I age like wine
The opportunity is mine
Don’t want to be a victim, but I want your sympathy
Don’t want to be religious, but life brought me to my knees
I’ve got so much to say to you that I want you to know
But I don’t wanna scare you off, I don’t want you to go
I tried to make myself attractive in the ways I could
I tried to turn a failing body into something good
If the world could love me, it could take away the hurt
But love, it doesn’t penetrate the only thing that works is
Staying power
I’ve got the power
The world, come hurt me, I don’t mind
That’s ‘cause I’ve got
Staying power
Minute or hour
I’ll wait you out, I’ve got all night
All night
I’ve got all night
I age like wine
The opportunity is mine
Staying power
I’ve got the power
The world, come hurt me, I don’t mind
That’s ‘cause I’ve got
Staying power
Minute or hour
I’ll wait you out, I’ve got all night
All—
Staying power
I’ve got the power
The world, come hurt me, I don’t mind
That’s ‘cause I’ve got
Staying power
Minute or hour
I’ll wait you out, I’ve got all night
All night
I’ve got all night
I age like wine
The opportunity is mine
The opportunity is mine
The opportunity is mine
