About the song
I wrote the lyrics and the music at the same time and was striving for a "George Jones" type of expression. The tempo was increased simply because it felt better during a performance.
Lyrics
It all started with the touch of her hand
The pretty lady gained control of this man
And though I've tried and tried
I just can't break these chains
Now she's gone, but her power still remains
Lord, she's got the power over me
I don't love her
But my heart says I'm not free
I guess love is really blind cause I can't see
She's got the power, the power over me
You know it's funny that I even feel this way
I felt laughter when i left her on that day
Now my tears and pain are all that I can see
She's got the power, the power over me
Lord, she's got the power over me
I don't love her
But my heart says I'm not free
I guess love is really blind cause I can't see
She's got the power, the power over me
Lord, she's got the power over me
I don't love her
But my heart says I'm not free
I guess love is really blind cause I can't see
She's got the power, the power over me
She's got the power, the power over me
The pretty lady gained control of this man
And though I've tried and tried
I just can't break these chains
Now she's gone, but her power still remains
Lord, she's got the power over me
I don't love her
But my heart says I'm not free
I guess love is really blind cause I can't see
She's got the power, the power over me
You know it's funny that I even feel this way
I felt laughter when i left her on that day
Now my tears and pain are all that I can see
She's got the power, the power over me
Lord, she's got the power over me
I don't love her
But my heart says I'm not free
I guess love is really blind cause I can't see
She's got the power, the power over me
Lord, she's got the power over me
I don't love her
But my heart says I'm not free
I guess love is really blind cause I can't see
She's got the power, the power over me
She's got the power, the power over me
