Man 'O' War

Lyrics

Why you screaming?
 You know I'm not a man of war
 Break the gold chain that I gave you
 Throw it down on the floor
 Instead of this seven page letter
 I wish I had piece of mind
 My friends tell me you should go get her
 But loving you, loving you, loving you
 Is a waste of time
 Oh yes it is, a waste of time, ooh
 I need to get out of this city
 I need to get you out of my head
 
 I need to get away from the words that you said to me
 Why you screaming? (ooh)
 You know I'm not a man of war
 How could you think that I
 Could put something inside of someone
 That I put inside you, inside you?
 Even if I tried to (tried to) tried to (tried to)
 I couldn't 'cause I still smell like the last time that we-
 Loving you, loving you, loving you
 Is a waste of time (a waste of time)
 Oh, yes it is
 Loving you, a waste of time baby (ooh-oh)
 I need to feel wanted again
 I need to feel love is alive, yeah
 I need to hear you say that you ain't looking for another reason to make me cry
 Why you screaming? (ooh)
 You know I'm not a man of war
 I've been trying to make you happy, baby
 Ever since we were sophomores
 (But loving you, loving you, loving you)
 Is a waste of time, oh yes it is
 Oh, is a waste of time, waste of time, waste of time
 If there is no future
 Then there is no past
 And all we've got is right now
 Let us make it last
 Make it last, make it last (ooh)
 Why you screaming?
 You know I'm not a man of war
 Break the gold chain (break the gold chain that I gave you)
 Throw it down on the floor, oh baby
 Instead of this seven page letter
 I wish I had piece of mind
 (My friends tell me you should go get her)
 Tell me you should go get her
 (But loving you) Loving you, loving you, loving you
 Is a waste of time (a waste of time)
 Oh, a waste of time, oh yeah
 I need to get out of this city
 I need to get you out of my head
 I need to-
 I need to get away from the words that you said to me
 I need to-
 I need to feel wanted again
 Oh, I need to hear no sin
 Hear me
 (But loving you, loving you, loving you)
