[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)

Ellie Goulding

Elena Jane “Ellie” Goulding (born 30 December 1986) – is an English singer-songwriter. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica.

In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November.

In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.
