[Verse 1]
Hey young lady don't be alarmed
He might come on kinda strong but he don't mean you any harm
You write the book, make him learn the rules
Once you get him trained, oh, you can let him bend a few
If he ain't told ya yet, he will soon enough
We suffer here together girl, we're achin' to be loved

[Chorus]
It's a powerful feeling when the flame hits the fuse
No concern for the damage when your dazed and confused
Oh no, what a powerful feeling
It's a powerful feeling

[Verse 2]
Hello young man try to be polite
Mind your filthy manners boy, you'd better treat her right
If you go to dinner don't run out on the bill
Don't go blowin' out the candles 'cause you think you've sealed the deal
The tough get goin' when the goin' gets tough
But goin's not the answer when she's achin' to be loved, no

[Chorus]
It's a powerful feeling when the flame hits the fuse
No concern for the damage when your dazed and confused
Oh no, sun burns in a halo
(It's a powerful feeling)
Little scars in your eyes
(It's a powerful feeling)
Dumb struck by the blow when you first realize
What a powerful feeling

[Bridge]
Cute little babies grow to girls and boys
Mommys and Daddys keep a bedroom full of toys
But they come of age, learn what their parts are for
Put 'em together and they're not children anymore, no

[Chorus]
(It's a powerful feeling)
Sun burns in a halo
(It's a powerful feeling)
Little stars in your eyes
(It's a powerful feeling)
(It's a powerful feeling, it's a powerful feeling)
(It's a powerful feeling, it's a powerful feeling)
(It's a powerful feeling, it's a powerful feeling)
(It's a powerful feeling, it's a powerful feeling)
(It's a powerful feeling, it's a powerful feeling)
(It's a powerful feeling, it's a powerful feeling)
(It's a powerful feeling, it's a powerful feeling)
