Power Back Songtext
von Mary J. Blige

I think it′s funny all the games you play
But I don't play with you
So why you choose to play with me that way
All I do is treat you with the utmost
I need the same
So if you′re looking for that ratchetness
Don't look my way

Baby I'ma love you
And you ain′t gotta love me back
I′ll do everything I say I'll do for you
To show my love just can′t be matched

So when you're out late night throwing up them bills
The more you do that B.S., the more I keep it real
Go ahead and lose yourself, I′ma stay intact
If it's one thing they respect, it′s when we don't react
(That's that power back)


He used to stay gone, now he′s coming home
(That′s that power back)
And when I stopped calling, he's on my phone
(That′s that power back)
And when it seems I don't care, he′s right there
(That's that power back)
I′ll just sit back and watch you do it to yourself
(That's that power back)

I love you too much to ever leave you (Uh, uh, uh)
I love me too much to wanna be you (Uh, uh, uh)
Said the clock strikes at least two times in a day
And when we're right, we′re unbreakable
Just need some time to get us back in love

Baby I′ma love you
And you ain't gotta love me back (Oh, oh yeah)
I′ll do everything I say I'll do for you
To show my love just can′t be matched

So when you're out late night throwing up them bills
The more you do that B.S., the more I keep it real
Go ahead and lose yourself, I′ma stay intact
If it's one thing men respect, it's when we don′t react
(That′s that power back)


He used to stay gone, now he's coming home
(That′s that power back)
And when I stopped calling, he's on my phone
(That′s that power back)
And when it seems I don't care, he′s right there
(That's that power back)
I'll just sit back and watch you do it to yourself
(That′s that power back)

Gave you everything that you wanted
Gave everything you could need
I won′t ever ask you for nothing
But your love is what I need

He used to stay gone, now he's coming home
(That′s that power back)
And when I stopped calling, he's on my phone
(That′s that power back)
And when it seems I don't care, he′s right there
(That's that power back)
I'll just sit back and watch you do it to yourself
(That′s that power back)
