High Powered Love

(Tony Joe White)

I've been running low on inspiration
Tired of the physical intrugue
There's nothing left to imagination
Living in a world that treats love so carelessly
Don't want no smooth talkin' lover
I can't play the role, it just leaves me cold

I need a high powered love
I wanna feel that lightning streak
High powered love got to be
Down in the heart with me.

Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
Yeah, too many pretty faces all skin deep
Now is there anyone left
With teeth just a little uneven
And won't spend more time
With a mirror than he does with me
If you're just looking for a good time
A notch on your gun, well, I ain't the one.

I want a high powered love,
Got to have intensity
High powered love don't start the fire
If you can't take the heat
I can't turn back on a mission
I know there's someone out there for me.

I need a high powered love
One that'll defy gravity
High powered love got to be strong
And keep on lifting me.

I need a high powered love
I wanna feel that lightning streak
High powered love got to be
Down in the heart with me.

In the heart with me...
