Elton John & Millie Jackson ACT OF WAR lyrics

This ain't no battle
Honey
This ain'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.
Go ahead
Bring on your artillery
And well make this an act of war.
Give it all you've got
'cause I'm all dug in

Keep the punches comin'
I can take them on the chin.
Winner takes all
Let the best man win

And we call it an act of war.

I'm a man of convenience
I work a long hard day
[ ACT OF WAR lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

After twelve long hours ain'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 gonna stay

I call it
I call it an act of war.
We're living on the front line
You and me
. . .

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
.. . .

It's an act of war - an act of war - an act of war -
It's an act of war -
Call that an act of war -
Act of war -
Call that an act of war -
Call that an act of war -
It's an act of war -
Get you going crazy -
Get you lost
Baby -
I call it
An act of war -
An act of war!
