Story behind 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
