Power Trip
Miguel (feat. J. Cole) Lyrics

Got me up all night
I can't stop thinking about her, she's always on my mind, keeping me awake at night.

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night
All the music I listen to now is about love because of her. I can't help but think about her all the time.

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night
I'm trying to forget about her by drinking and drowning my sorrows in love songs, but it's not working. I'm still thinking about her.

Down and out with these love songs, she got me up all night
I'm feeling really low and sad listening to love songs because they remind me of her, and I can't stop thinking about her, even at night.

Drown it out with these love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
I'm trying to block out my feelings for her by listening to love songs, but it's not working. She's still on my mind all the time.

OK, back when I was sleepin’ in my mama crib
I'm reminiscing about a time when I was still living with my mom, before I became famous and successful.

Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed crib
Even when I was living with a friend named Mohammed, I had feelings for her.

Payin’ seventeen-hundred for the rent, money well spent
I was paying a lot of money for rent back then, but I thought it was worth it.

No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent? Had a thing for you
I didn't have a heater in my apartment, but I made my own heat. I had feelings for her even back then.

Even wrote the song dreams for you
I wrote a song called Dreams for her, expressing my love and hopes for our future together.

'Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
I had big dreams for us, including marriage and a life together.

Childish shit, you know childish shit
I know my feelings and dreams for her were naive and childish, but I still can't help how I feel.

Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward shit
I sent her anonymous flowers because I was too scared to confess my feelings directly to her. Looking back, I realize it was cowardly.

Now a nigga signed to Hov, took a power trip
Now that I'm famous and successful, I feel like I have power and control. It's gone to my head a bit.

Back home I'm grown now and this city's my throne now
I've grown up and become successful, and now I'm in charge in my hometown. I'm calling the shots now.

The same clubs I used to get tossed out
I used to get kicked out of these clubs, but now I'm the one calling the shots and making the rules.

Life got crisscrossed, totally crossed out
My life has taken many unexpected turns, but I'm still achieving my goals and dreams.

'Cause now I'm in this bitch and I'm totally bossed out
I'm now in charge and calling the shots, and it feels great. I'm totally in control.

Old chicks cryin' 'cause they know that they lost out
Women who rejected me in the past are now regretting it because I'm successful and famous.

But I'm still on you, I'm still on you
I still have feelings for her, even though I'm now successful and famous.

My drink spilled on me, while I feel on you, I'm saying
I spilled my drink on myself while I was dancing with her, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be close to her.

Would you believe me if I said I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me
I'm asking her if she believes that I'm in love with her, and I want her to want me back.

Well this has gotta be the longest crush ever
My feelings for her have been going on for a long time, and they're not going away.

If I ever get to fuck it'd be the longest bust ever
If we ever have sex, it will be the culmination of a long buildup of feelings and attraction.

Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever and
Love is a powerful feeling, like a drug, and it's hard to resist and control.

Fuck it I'm on one, you feel me?
I'm feeling really good and confident right now, and I don't care what anyone else thinks.

She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
She's in control of our relationship, and I'm powerless to resist her.

Wifin' in the club, man my homies' gon' disown a nigga
If my friends knew that I was getting serious with her, they would disapprove and abandon me.

Like, give me 20 dolla', dolla'
She's spending my money and expecting me to give her more all the time.

Ass stupid, how you get to college, college
She might not be very smart, but I still find her incredibly attractive and sexy.

I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
I'm in her town, and I'm wondering if she's home so I can go see her.

Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you alone now
She's found another guy, but I'm hoping she's not with him now so I can have a chance with her.

Can't help but feelin' like I dropped the ball, cliche
I feel like I messed up and missed my chance with her, which is a classic cliche.

I used to pop up on you at the mall, each day
I used to go to the mall just to see her and try to start a conversation with her every day.

Now typically I kick game like Eastbay
I'm usually very smooth and confident with women, like I'm ordering shoes from Eastbay.

But you got a nigga freeze-framed yelling please play
I'm so flustered and nervous around her that I'm frozen, and I'm begging her to talk to me.

For Pete's sake, homie pull it together
I need to get my act together and stop acting so frantic and desperate around her.

Just fuck her one time and be through it forever, but
My friends are telling me to just have sex with her once and get it over with, but I'm not sure if that's what I really want.

Got me up all night
She's keeping me up all night, unable to sleep or think of anything else.

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night (all night)
I'm only listening to love songs because of her, and she's the reason I can't stop thinking about love and romance.

Got me open all night hey
She's got me feeling very vulnerable and exposed, unable to resist her charms or influence.
