Everybody chokes

When they see someone cut down in their prime

It may not show when you look at me

But I know I'm in mine

I'm potent, baby, I'm potent

Dangerous to the naked eye

Rest your head on this bed of mother's pride

And find out why



Don't you wanna take me home?

Don't you wanna take me home?



Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now

Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now



Bully boys don't bother me

I purse my lips and they run away

Guys like you who are gentle and true

Don't come around here everyday

I'm potent, baby, I'm potent

Just one swing of me would get most guys smashed

But a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve

I guess I'm outclassed



Everybody chokes

When they see someone cut down in their prime

Take this plea to your heart

- lift me in mine



Don't you wanna take me home?

Don't you wanna take me home?



Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now

Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now



Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now

Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now
