"Power Behind The Throne" lyrics

"Power Behind The Throne"

All hands to the rescue
All hands on deck
Women and children first
Women and children first

Cold feet in the bedroom
Cold moor in the bed
I've seen the starship rollin' in
I wanna talk instead

About the way that you treat me and the round in the wheel
How you made a reservation for you're changing the way
So how can I love you, when you make me feel, like a hmm and a weasel at the end of a day
End of conversation

On this occasion
I have no reservation
It's saying, she's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power... behind the throne

All hands to the rescue
All hands on deck
I'm in need of assistance
I'm going down with the wreck

I can't sleep with the captain
Can't sleep with the crew
I always mix with the wind-craft
That I used to do

She should be home, yet she's out of the town
So I'm stuck in the apartment, with the kids all day
And if I was an animal they'd brought me down
And I just can't go on living this way
End of conversation

On this occasion
I have no reservation
It's saying, she's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power... behind the throne

She's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power behind the throne
She's the power... behind the throne

A very bossy woman
A real bossy woman
A bossy woman
