Sense Of Purpose Lyrics - Packed! - Pretenders

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 want to take me home? 

Don't you want to take me home? 

[Chorus] 

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 swig 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 

Don't you want to take me home? 

Don't you want to take me home? 

[Chorus x 2]
