[1 verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you wanna take me home?
Don't you wanna take me home?

[Chorus]
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now

[2 verse]
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

[verse]
Everybody chokes
When they see someone cut down in their prime
Take this plea to your heart
- lift me in mine
One, two, three, four

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you wanna take me home?
Don't you wanna take me home?

[Chorus x2]
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
