You know which buttons to push
I like it under your thumb
Better to squeeze than to crush
I love it when you succumb
Power trippin' - switching roles
I know you like it when I lose control
Power trippin' - swapping sides
Let's just relax, kick back enjoy the ride
Long as we're set up in this partnership
We take our turns being on a power trip
I don't care which one of us is running the show
Long as it's R&B and rock&roll
I know you're such a power house
No need for such a display
I can't visit your dog house
It's too far out of my way
Power trippin' - taking turns
The things you want to teach you need to learn
Power trippin' - it's your go
I'll share the drive-in with you - quid pro quo
You call the shots and I'll call the tune
I'll crack the whip and you rule the room
I'll wear the pants and you pull the strings
Don't waste your energy on foolish things
You call the shots and I'll call the tune
(Power trippin)
I'll crack the whip and you rule the room
(Power trippin)
I'll wear the pants and you pull the strings
(Power trippin)
Don't waste your energy on foolish things
(Power trippin)
The ace I'm holding is meant for you
(Power trippin)
I couldn't pull a power trip on you
(Power trippin)
As long as one of us is in control
(Power trippin)
Turn up the power and let's rock and roll ...
I like it under your thumb
