[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Staying power, I've got the power
The world can hurt me, I don't mind
That's 'cause I've got staying powеr
Minute or hour, I'll wait you out
I've got all night, all night
I've got all night, I agе like wine
The opportunity is mine

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Yes
Yes
Oh, yeah

[Chorus]
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
