[Verse 1]
He who asks for much has much to give
I don't ask for much, just enough to live
Oh, in the light, morning will reveal the spoils of night
Through the walls of Jericho, oh, lies a heart of stone
With you, half the battle is proving that we're at war
I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore

[Chorus]
Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
Don't call it a lovers' quarrel

[Verse 2]
To whom much is given, much is required
Luxurious liver, you never inquire
It ain't right, you see, who is your family?
If I don't have tools to fight, calling this a quarrel isn't right
Quoting this a quarrel so immorally implies
We're equal opponents and we both antagonize

[Chorus]
Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
Don't call it a lovers' quarrel, ooo
Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
Don't call it a lovers' quarrel, ooo
[Non-lyrical Break]

[Outro]
'Cause we cannot be lovers
Long as I'm the other
We cannot be lovers
Long as I'm the other
We cannot be lovers
Ay, long as I'm the other
We cannot be lovers
Long as I'm the other
We cannot be lovers
Long as, long as I'm-
Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
