- Songwriters: Chrissie Hynde
Everybody chokes when they see someone cut down in their prime
It may not show when you look at me but I know I'm in mine
I'm potent, baby, I'm potent, dangerous to the naked eye
Rest your head on this bed of mother's pride and find out why
Don't you wanna take me home?
Don't you wanna take me home?
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Bully boys don't bother me, I purse my lips and they run away
Guys like you who are gentle and true
Don't come around here everyday
I'm potent, baby, I'm potent, Just one swing of me
Would get most guys smashed
But a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve
I guess, I'm outclassed
Everybody chokes when they see someone cut down in their prime
Take this plea to your heart, lift me in mine
One, two, three, four
Don't you wanna take me home?
Don't you wanna take me home?
Baby, give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Let's get out on here now, let's go
