YOU GOT THE POWER
(Eddie Rabbitt / Even Stevens)

Sammi Smith - 1976



You got the power to bring out the devil child in me
You got the soul of a big old bowl of blackeyed peas
You got some time and I got some money
We got a horse, so let's make it honey
We'll ride off into the sunset, you and me

And we'll go skinny-dippin' in the river in the Texas moonlight
And nuggle on a bearskin rug and make a love by firelight, ooh honey child

You got the power to bring out the devil child in me
You got the soul of a big old bowl of blackeyed peas
So c'mon over here and give me some sugar
I'm gonna get you yet, you little booger
Give up, you know you can't get away from me

(Instrumental Break)

And we'll go skinny-dippin' in the river in the Texas moonlight
And nuggle on a bearskin rug and make a love by firelight, ooh honey child

You got the power to bring out the devil child in me
You got the soul of a big old bowl of blackeyed peas
So c'mon over here and give me some sugar
I'm gonna get you yet, you little booger
Give up, you know you can't get away from me
