Everybody chokes
When they see someone cut down in their prime.
It may not show when you look at me
But I know I'm in mine.
I'm potent, baby, I'm potent
Dangerous to the naked eye.
Rest your head on this bed of mother's pride
And find out why.

Don't you wanna take me home?
Don't you wanna take me home?

Give me a sense of purpose,
real sense of purpose now.
Give me a sense of purpose,
real sense of purpose now.

Bully boys don't bother me,
I purse my lips and [bad word] away.
Guys like you who are gentle and [bad word]  [bad word] around here everyday.
I'm potent, baby, I'm potent
Just one swing of me would get most guys smashed
But a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve
I guess I'm outclassed.

Everybody chokes
When they see someone cut down in their prime.
Take this plea to your heart -
Lift me in mine.

Don't you wanna take me home?
Don't you wanna take me home?

Give me a sense of purpose,
real sense of purpose now.
Give me a sense of purpose,
real sense of purpose now.

Give me a sense of purpose,
real sense of purpose now.
Give me a sense of purpose,
real sense of purpose now
