Charlie drives a brand new Mercedes Benz

He's got another one just like it

Just like all his friends

His wife is playing tennis

And his kids are off at school

He drives home to his empty house

Sits by his empty swimming pool



But he's got power windows

He's got power brakes

He's got a power bed

Push a button and it shakes

He's got no one to talk to

And tears rolling down his face

He ain't got the power of love

The power of love



Lewis drives a beat up '69 Dart

Swears it's the statue of Mary

Keeps the car from falling apart

With Gracie right beside him

Sitting closer than a smile

She got her hand on his shoulder

He loves to drive and hold her



He's got no power windows

Got no power brakes

He ain't got no power nothing

But he got what it takes

He's got Gracie's arm around him

And a smile upon his face

He's got the power of love



He's got the power of love

Ain't that the power of love

He's got the power

The power of love



No air condition

No cellular telephone

He goes rumblin' down the highway

Listening to his AM radio

One arm out the window

And a smile upon his face

Makes you wonder how it got there

Till you see him look at Grace



He's got the power

Ain't that the power of love
