The Power of Love
Smitten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right
Power of love will keep you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But do be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round

And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden, it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do (what to do)
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love

It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Stronger than it saint cool sometimes
You won't feel nothin' till you feel

You feel the power
You feel the power of love




Feel the power of love
Feel the power of love
