Oh I know, I know, I know All the songs you write are about me But you changed the names so I can't stake my claim You're so greedy And I know, I know, I know That you think you're a much better writer And that might be true But what I've got on you Is I'm a fighter
This is war My fingers are sore So far from the top But I refuse to stop Got shakers in my eardrums Bossing like a new gun Baby, when it's all done You won't mind that I've won This is a battle You are the prize Put down that piano Let's start our lives You've got more soldiers But I've got more passion And I'm right behind you just gaining traction POW! POW! POW! POW! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! POW! POW! POW! POW! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
And I know, I know, I know About the lovers in your bulletproof lining They don't intimidate They're just too bit-ah late and bad timing And I know, I know, I know You've got your battle plan mapped out in inches But I'm not scared of you I'm jumping right into these Brooklyn trenches
This is war My fingers are sore I might be a masochist just asking for more Cause these stages like a standoff And you're pretty tough I'm bruised and bloody BUT I'LL NEVER GIVE UP! This is a battle You are the prize Put down that piano And come to my side We'll sing songs together I'll hold your hand Make perfect-pitched babies And form a band
I don't really want, I don't really wanna fight no more I'm sweating in the sun Camped out with ammo at your door Uh-oor, uh-oor, uh-oor, oh I don't really want, I don't really wanna fight no more But I just can't be beat So I will stand the heat Until your love, your love is sure Baby, this is war
