Won The Battle

(album: I Was Warned - 1992)

The fighting's over
This time I won
I yelled the loudest
Had the biggest gun

She packed up all her bags
And walked right out the door
Looks like I won the battle
But lost the war

She was speechless
Once I made her cry
But she had the last word
If you count good bye

Now I've got cold silence
Across the killing floor
Looks like I won the battle
But lost the war

Whose fault is it?
When we can't get along
Let's get back together, darling
Who cares who's been right or wrong?

I'm ready to surrender
But she won't talk no more
Looks like I won the battle
But lost the war

Will she ever forgive me?
Sure is hard to tell
If she'll have a change of heart
To save me from this hell

I'm ready to surrender
But she won't talk no more
Looks like I won the battle
But lost the war

Looks like I won the battle
But lost the war
