Pretenders, The - Sense Of Purpose Lyrics






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

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

Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now
Give me a sense of purpose
A real sense of purpose now

    Singer Chrissie Hynde Praises Trump for Honoring Rush Limbaugh
    WAY TO GO GIRL 👍👍👍👍😁

  2. R.... P....

    Chrissie doesn't sing this in her shows now nor does she sing "Never do that" off this album called Pretender's Packed. I've read on Wikipedia it's actually a solo album by Chrissie but the Pretender's name is on it to satisfy "contractual obligations".

    Quanta saudade.

    "Sense Of Purpose"

    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

    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

    Give me a sense of purpose
    A real sense of purpose now
    Give me a sense of purpose
    A real sense of purpose now

    P.... S....

    Let's get on out of here now, let's go!

    The same ending phrase as their 1981 hit "Louie Louie"

  7. J.... D....

    this was her attempt at glamour and sentimental vacous mainstream crap in 1990. this video sucks. he's a pea brain hunk. so it's for gays and females basically. i hate this video. its not reality. its hollywood shit

  8. G.... Y....

    chrissie's glamour phase. it sucks

  9. j.... e....

    This is the first time I've heard this song. I am impressed, and encouraged that Chrissy can change her style so effectively. Back in the late 70's and into the 80's, her music had a distinctly English feel to it. This song has the slower countryesque feel to it, and I like it.

  10. O.... L....

    Foi tema da novela Barriga de Aluguel, de 1990

  11. P.... S....

    THE CLASSIC PRETENDERS!! LOVE THIS BAND, THIS VOICE!! 👍😄

  12. D.... S....

    esta cancion paso bastante desapercibida en su epoca pero a mi me gusta

  13. w.... ....

    she looks really sexy in this video

  14. s.... ....

    Chrissie Hynde is simply a powerhouse of style, energy and talent.Go Chrissie go!!!

  15. s.... ....

    The incomparable Chrissie Hynde.Nice!!

  16. p.... ....

    I do believe that's Christian Bale in the white boxer shorts.

    p.... ....

    It's Gary Stretch

  17. p.... m....

    cancion salvable junto con never do that (cancion que se convirtió en melodia de maquina tragaperras de los 90), de un disco impropio de un grupo como Pretenders

  18. A.... S....

    This is my favorite of theirs.

  19. S.... W....

    My favorite, as well.

  20. b.... w....

    finally ~ thanks for sharing! my favorite pretenders song.
