Ellie Goulding - Power Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Painted to pure perfection
We had a real connection
Bodies aching, overtaken
You kept me at a distance
Not asking any questions
Fingers pressing, learning lessons

[Chorus]
Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)

[Verse 2]
No, I'm not chasing paper
And I'm not faking neither
Take me higher or this will expire
Your self obsessions boring
Sorry if I'm ignoring
Mindless actions lead to destruction

[Chorus]
Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)

[Bridge]
Everything you do is so cruel (Power)
Taking me for a fool (Power)
Making me need a new fix
Making me worship you
Everything you do is so cruel (Power)
Taking me for a fool (Power)
Making me need a new fix
Making me worship you
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)
