[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you gotta chill out 'cause baby, I don't wanna fight with you
And every battle we fought just made us look like fools

[Chorus]
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
A World War III
World War III (Let me tell 'em)
[Verse 2]
Now, you're rounding up your army
Turning all your troops on me
Telling lies just to feel happy
But I won't retaliate

[Chorus]
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
A World War III

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you gotta chill out 'cause baby, I don't wanna fight with you
And every battle we fought just made us look like fools

[Chorus]
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
A World War III
World War III
[Outro]
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
A World War III
World War III
World War III
