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, huh, 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
Oh, go ahead bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war

Give it all you've got 'cause I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming, I can take 'em on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war

Well, I'm a man of convenience, I work a long hard day
After 12 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
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh, go ahead, bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war

Give it all you've got 'cause I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming, I can take 'em on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war

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
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh, go ahead, bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war
Give it all you've got 'cause I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming, I can take 'em on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war

It's an act of war

An act of war

An act of war (it's an act of war)
Call it an act of war (act of war)
Call it an act of war (call it an act of war)
It's an act of war
Get your girlfriend
Get your husband
I call it an act of war

An act of war, yeah
