High Powered Love - Emmylou Harris

(Tony Joe White)

I've been running low on inspiration 
Tired of the physical intrigue 
There's nothing left to imagination 
Living in a world that treats love so carelessly 

Don't want no smooth talkin' lover 
I can't play the role 
It just leaves me cold 

I need a high powered love 
I wanna feel that lightning streak 
High powered love 
Got to be down in the heart with me 

Sometimes it's hard to keep believing 
Too many pretty faces all skin deep 
Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven 
And won't spend more time a mirror than he does with me 

If you're looking for a good time 
A notch on your gun 
I ain't the one 

I want a high powered love 
Got to have intensity 
High powered love 
Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat 

I can't turn back I'm on a mission 
I know there's someone out there for me 

I need a high powered love 
One that'll defy gravity 
High powered love 
Got to be strong and keep on lifting me 

Yeah I need a high powered love 
I wanna feel the lightning streak 
High powered love 
Got to be down in the heart with me 
Got to be down in the heart with me
