staying power

Allie X

I don t have the face that makes your grandma wanna smile
I don t have the milk that makes me wanna have a child
I don t have the disposition for drinks with the girls
I don t sing for straight men
cause they just ruin the world
Wanna be good daughter but I pushed my mom away
Wanna be good patient but my doctor makes me pay
Wanna save the baby but I threw away the bath
My body s weak, my mind is bleak
there s one thing that I have

Staying power, I ve got the power
The world can hurt me, I don t mind
That s cause I ve got staying pow?r
Minute or hour, I ll wait you out
I ve got all night, all night
I ve got all night, I ag? like wine
The opportunity is mine

Don t wanna be a victim but I want your sympathy
Don t wanna be religious but life brought me to my knees
I ve got so much to say to you that I want you to know
But I don t wanna scare you off, I don t want you to go
I tried to make myself attractive in the ways I could
I tried to turn a failing body into something good
If the world could love me, it could take away the hurt
But love, it doesn t penetrate the only thing that works is

Staying power, I ve got the power
The world can hurt me, I don t mind
That s cause I ve got staying power
Minute or hour, I ll wait you out
I ve got all night, all night
I ve got all night, I age like wine
The opportunity is mine

Yes
Yes
Oh, yeah

Staying power, I ve got the power
The world can hurt me, I don t mind
That s cause I ve got staying power
Minute or hour, I ll wait you out
I ve got all night, all
Staying power, I ve got the power
The world can hurt me, I don t mind
That s cause I ve got staying power
Minute or hour, I ll wait you out
I ve got all night, all night
I ve got all night, I age like wine
The opportunity is mine
The opportunity is mine (Mine, mine, mine)
The opportunity is mine
