Power's Out
Nicole Scherzinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now lay, (oh oh oh),
Now lay
Lay, lay, lay
I got a shoulder built for you
Just in case you need it to lean on
These hands I have are for you
The world is just a super sized merry go around
Sometimes your finger loose their grip, we all fall down
Don't sit there in the dark
Don't worry your heart
Everything will be fine
If trees fall on your power line
If your wills turn strong
You will always have a home
If your power's out
If the light turn dark
You can stay here in my heart
If your power's out
My food is yours
Take all you want
My bed is yours
Sleep all you want
