[Verse 1]
Sweetwater Johnny got no one to love him
Girlfriend told him she had enough of him
Sweetwater Johnny, love's gone sour
He lost the power

[Verse 2]
Sweetwater William, there he is smilin'
Got a new girlfriend, said she'd stand by him
Sweetwater William, head's in a tower
He got the power

[Chorus]
The power, the power, if you got the power
Girls either will or they won't
The power, the power, girl, the power
You either got it or you don't

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Now listen, people
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you somethin' about power

[Verse 3]
Sweetwater Jimmy, shy with the ladies
He's so bashful, he isn't ready
Sweetwater Jimmy, you need an hour
An hour to power
[Chorus]
The power, the power, if you got the power
Girls either will or they won't
The power, the power, girl, the power
You either got it or you don't

[Outro]
Oh yeah
You either got it or you don't, no, no, no
