  • Yeah
    Ooh

    Tonight, I walked into the bedroom
    You were visibly upset
    Telling me I made a bad move
    But I didn't do nothing
    You start screaming wake the neighbors
    Now everybody's out for blood
    I didn't want no confrontation
    Because of you that's what I've got

    Well, you gotta chill out 'cause baby
    I don't wanna fight with you
    And every battle we've fought
    Just make us look like fools

    No, you can't have a World War III
    If there's only one side fighting
    And you know, whoa-oh
    That there's lessons left to learn
    Every time you attack
    It doesn't drive me to fight you back
    Then I know, whoa-oh
    That I'll never let it be
    World War III
    World War III
    Let me tell 'em

    Now, you're rounding up your army
    Turning all your troops on me
    Telling lies just to feel happy
    But I won't retaliate, no

    You can't have a World War III
    If there's only one side fighting
    And you know, whoa-oh
    That there's lessons left to learn
    Every time you attack
    It doesn't drive me to fight you back
    Then I know, whoa-oh
    That I'll never let it be
    World War III

    Well, you gotta chill out 'cause baby
    I don't wanna fight with you
    And every battle that we fought
    Just made us look like fools

    No, you can't have a World War III
    If there's only one side fighting
    And you know, whoa-oh
    That there's lessons left to learn
    Every time you attack
    It doesn't drive me to fight you back
    Then I know, whoa-oh
    That I'll never let it be
    World War III
    Not gonna be a World War III

    Oh-oh (oh-oh)

    Every time you attack
    It doesn't drive me to fight you back
    And I know, whoa-oh
    That I'll never let it be
    World War III
