The kids are playing in the sun
They think their life has just begun
For them it's just another day
Playing games all the kids would play
There won't be a me and you
If we keep on fighting like we do
Baby please don't walk away,
Saying things only kids would say
Kids, what do they know about loving now
Loving, loving you here and I love when you're gone
Just another can't find the way

[Chorus:]
Take your kid gloves on, this is love not war
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves on, this is love not war
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for

You shout with nothing to say
And fight til you get your way
It hurts but what can I do,
I won't turn into what kids do
Kids, what do they know about loving now
Loving, loving you here and I love when you're gone

[Chorus:]
Take your kid gloves on, this is love not war
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves on, this is love not war
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for

You're playing in my setting sun
You're thinking life has just begun
You're throwing all my love away
Just another California day

[Chorus:]
Take your kid gloves on, this is love not war
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves on, this is love not war
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for
