Elton John, Millie Jackson - Act of War lyrics

This isn't no battle honey
This isn't no fight
How come you take it so hard
When I stay out all night
If I take a drink, is that against the law
And if I have a good time
Do you call that an act of war
Well you better believe it boy
This house is your home
I didn't build it up for you
To live here on my own
And if you think it's easy to forget about me
You'd better think twice
You'd better believe it's an act of war

We're living on the front line you and me
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war

Give it all you've got because I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming I can
Take them on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war
Well I'm a man of convenience I
Work a long hard day
After twelve long hours haven't I
Got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war

Well if that's your game then
Honey two can play
I'm going on the town tonight and
Have some fun my way
Ain't no way baby this girl's going to stay
I call it, I call it an act of war

We're living on the front line you and me
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war

Give it all you've got because I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming I can
Take them on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war
Well I'm a man of convenience I
Work a long hard day
After twelve long hours haven't I
Got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war

And it looks like time ain't been on our side
If we could turn the clock back
We might survive this act of war

We're living on the front line you and me
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war

Give it all you've got because I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming I can
Take them on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war
Well I'm a man of convenience I
Work a long hard day
After twelve long hours haven't I
Got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war

It's an act of war an act of war
It's an act of war call it an act of war
Act of war call it an act of war
It's an act of war get your girlfriend
Get your husband i call it an act of war
An act of war, yeah
