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?
