He arrives and they're waitin'

and the group searches in
as the records start to spin
he can make them shift their gears
with a poundin' in the ears, he's got

Power,
Power, Power, Power

Power, Power, Power

Start to movin' with the rhythm
now he's got two people with him
and the force filled with fire
as the crowd is gettin' higher
he gives them rhythm, gives them moves
gets them movin' in their shoes
get's them rockin', gets them reelin'
gets them dancin' to the ceilin'

he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it (Powerful People)

and they move in our direction
as we're watching their reflection
he takes your body, takes your soul
he can make you lose control
he's a devil, he's a demon
he can set your body screamin'
he's a god, he's a spirit
it's so wonderful to hear it

he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it (Powerful People)

Clara Aurora

I remember 1981 with this song!! Oh what a beautiful year!! 💖💖

Michael Alderete

Stylized disco at its best, and it rocks, no matter what them "disco sucks" boys were sayin'.

Judes Mix

Michael Alderete "Disco Sucks"? Those are comments from lazy jealous or no dance skills folk. Disco was created by funk soul bass players with a dedicated drummer(s). Plus with ladies that sing their hearts out. Once the formula was discovered and copied, yeah their was plenty of copy cats simulating the piece.

Oh! It takes me back to my younger years and its a Power of disco.🎶

Acer Canon

Lipps debut album Mouth to Mouth is the best Disco album of all times... BTW i am still keeping my vinyl copy in perfect condition after 32 years on my Akai turntable... From : Malaysia

JacobMan555
