I've got a girl

She tastes like rain on my tongue

She's got the moon in her hips

And her eyes burn up like the sun

I'm gone from my girl when I leave her alone

There ain't nothing that I'm running from

There's war in my blood

I've still got wars to be won



Maybe something sweet

Somewhere between a flower and a gun

And where my girl is now

Someday that's where I want to be from



But love is a dollar that's already spent

Love is a song that's been sung

There's war in my blood

Love ain't the tune that fills these lungs



So here's my consolation

The opponent is enough

It takes two to go to war

And only one to fall in love



I had a girl

I know precisely what made her run

Her skin looked like the sky

Made my heart beat itself like a drum



I long for my girl

And I meet her in my dreams

I tell her she'll always be my only one

But there's war in my blood

There ain't a thing love could have done



There's war in my blood

There's war in my blood

There's war in my blood

There's war in my blood
