Rising Power (Young/Young/Johnson ) Dog day Tuesday Hope that girl she come today Hard life it's a city life Sweat came pourin' down I got my feet up like to love Through the dawn till I've blown All I want's to love you down Love the way she move around My body's for abuse (Rising power) We'll raise the night (Rising power) (Rising power) We'll wake the dead (Rising power) You've got a love life up all night Darkest hour at the dead of night Seen her walkin' down the street The kind of woman that brings on heat Love her dusk till dawn Come the morning she was gone Took me out to my surprise Money all gone left high and dry Need no excuse To let it all hang loose My body's for abuse (Rising power) We'll raise the night (Rising power) (Rising power) We'll wake the dead (Rising power) You'll end up torn to shreds Don't need no excuse My body's for abuse (Rising power) We'll raise the night (Rising power) (Rising power) We'll raise the dead (Rising power) You'll end up torn to shreds Rise Rise I'm gonna rise |
