Love and War

[Intro: Anthony Hamilton]

Mhm, yeah, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, hey, hey, yeah

[Verse 1: Anthony Hamilton]

Got my back against the wall now

Problems that I didn't see

We got caught up in a tangle

Then you tried to swing on me

How could I justify mistreating the love of my life?

I ain't too proud to beg for better, baby

That's what I deserve

[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]

Tried to be good to you

Even stood there by you

And you ran out on me anyway

I must have been a fool

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]

'Cause all is fair in love and war

(In love and war, baby)

So when you're fighting someone you love, you better be careful

(You better be)

There's hard feelings, there's low blows

Just in case you didn't know

'Cause in the morning it will be alright, alright, alright

[Verse 2: Macy Gray]

Here comes him again, sneaking in my backdoor

Bruised heart torn from trampling

From years of my past

I'm paining, I'm angry

No time to catch feeling

I've been done wrong so I'm stone cold

And down to get even (Even)

[Pre-Chorus: Macy Gray]

Love's a gamble and I ain't winning

Torn up from my past

Love don't live here no more

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & Macy Gray]

'Cause all is fair in love and war

(Love and war, baby)

So when you're fighting someone you love, you better be careful

There's hard feelings, there's low blows

Just in case you didn't know

'Cause in the morning it will be alright, alright, alright

(It's gonna be)

All is fair in love and war

(In love and war, baby)

So when you're fighting someone you love, you better be careful

There's hard feelings, there's low blows

Just in case you didn't know

'Cause in the morning it will be alright, alright, alright

[Outro: Anthony Hamilton, Macy Gray]

Oh, oh, say oh, oh

All is fair in love and war

All is fair in love and war

So why you wanna hurt me?

I tried to hurt you cause you tried to play me out

So why you so cruel to me?

You took my heart and you tried to play me soft

You took my heart and stoned it

I didn't want to take and tried to lead you on

All I was, was good to you

I didn't want to take and tried to lead you on

So why you wanna hurt me?

I tried to hurt you 'cause you tried to play me out

Why you wanna run from me, baby?

You took my heart and you tried to play it soft

How long can this last? How long?

I didn't want to take and tried to lead you on

You took the best of me

I took the best of you

Ain't too many more days I'm gonna be treated this way

And there too many more lies I'm gonna listen to, my baby

If you listen to me, things will go a little bit better

Why would I listen to you?

Willing to give you a chance, yes I am, oh, oh yeah

Tried to play me out

Oh, oh, oh

Tried to play me soft

Ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Tried to play me out

So why you wanna hurt me, baby?

I got it, I got it

This whole thing

I want it, I got it

It's killing me

I didn't want to take and tried to lead you on

I must've been a fool for you

You're not a fool for me

Why you wanna hurt me?

I tried to hurt you 'cause you tried to play me out

Why you wanna hurt me? Said why you wanna hurt me?

Why you wanna hurt me?
