[Intro: Mindi Jackson & Example]
A, 2, 3, 4!
What you want with me?
Right! Left! Right!
[Verse 1: Mindi]
Can you hear all the drums exploding?
Makes my pulse beat double time
That's the sound of a million hearts
It's the sound of a million hearts
Now we're standing shoulder to shoulder
Boys and girls on the borderline
And we're gonna keep marching on
Cause we gotta keep marching on
[Pre-Chorus]
So all the girls
And all the boys
All the lovers make noise
[Chorus]
Hold on tight cause here we go
Strap your asses to the floor
I said love, love, love, love is a war
Romance died with Romeo
That's how we all came to know
That love, love, love, love is a war
[Verse 2]
Lights shine like the city's burning
I gotta break through the barricade
Now I'm putting my war paint on
Yeah, I'm getting my war paint on
I've stolen the guns from mister
And the shots will be flying past
Hope he's bringing his army on
Here they come with the game face on
[Pre-Chorus]
So all the girls
And all the boys
All the lovers make noise
[Chorus]
Hold on tight cause here we go
Strap your asses to the floor
I said love, love, love, love is a war
Romance died with Romeo
That's how we all came to know
That love, love, love, love is a war
[Middle 8: Example & Mindi]
Ha!
How could I forget the day we met?
I had to date you
A couple months we were in love
Like Ross and Rachel
It went deranged, and then it changed
To leave, I hate you
It was kinda like that film where the Attraction's Fatal
You smash a plate, I slam the gate
Yeah, yeah
You get irate, I turn up late
We stock our ammo
You scream and shout, I lock you out
Who's in trouble now?
We call a truce and then we're back where we started
It's all good when we're on our best behaviour
But when the will turns sour it's like a scene out of Braveheart
Dark like Darth Vader
But still I love her
We fight, but there's light at the end of the tunnel
[Chorus: Mindi & Example]
So won'tcha, hold on tight cause here we go
Strap your asses to the floor
I said love, love, love, love is a war
What you want with me girl?
Romance died with Romeo
That's how we all came to know
That love, love, love, love is a war
[Outro: Mindi & Example]
And all the boys say
Na na na, na na na na na na
Huh!
Na na na, na na na na na na
Huh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
And all the girls say
Na na na, na na na na na na
Huh!
Na na na, na na na na na na
Here we go!
Huh!
Na na na, na na na na na na
Huh!
