[Verse 1: Bea Ford]
I'm leaving you, darling
And I won't be back
I found something better
Somewhere down the tracks

[Chorus: James Brown]
Oh, oh, I need you, darlin'
You've got the power to love
You've got the power in your hand
You've got the power to make me understand
Oh, oh, I want you to try me
You've got the power to love

[Verse 2: Bea Ford]
I told you, darling
That I would stand by your side
Remember the days
You made me cry
But oh, darling, oh my little darling
You've got the power to love

[Bridge: Bea Ford & James Brown, James Brown, Bea Ford]
We belong together
And we love each other
We belong together
And darling, you know I don't have to look no further, 'cause
[Outro: James Brown, Bea Ford]
You've got the power (I need you, darling)
In your hand (Oh, yes, you have)
You've got the power (I need you, darling)
To make me understand (Oh, yes, you have)
You've got the power (I need you, darling)
You've got the power (Oh, yes, you have)
You've got the power (I need you, darling)
You've got the power (Oh, yes, you have)
You've got the power
