  • In the square, I waited for you
    Trick, trick

    She's the eye of the storm, born in the city I live
    Her vanity's dressed up as virtue in broke shoes in our schools with tattoos upon the skin
    She used to make do, but now she makes men
    Fall at her feet, weak, their tongues leak, they try to stop talking 'cause now they don't make any sense

    She was never academic
    She couldn't draw a thing
    But she had power over men
    She had power over men
    She had power over

    So I drove to the bar, now I'm sipping on gin
    I stare into space as the place seemed to get that little bit of something it was missing
    She walked in, I could say she looked good, I could say she's just a friend
    But that would just be me throwing you off the scent, she's everything an understatement has
    She's under my skin

    Like an anesthetic
    You'll never feel a thing
    'Cause she had power over men
    She had power over men
    She had power over

    But as with any gift, there's always a twist
    She can never really kiss, 'cause there's never remiss
    Like giving everloves, you can never really win
    It's the burden and a curse of her power over
    Men

    She had power over men
    She had power over men
    She had power over men
    She had power over men
    She had power over men
    She had power over Writer/s: JAMES VERNON DRING, JAMIE ALEXANDER TREAYS
