Lyrics Love Not War - Joe Cocker

Just 24 hours ago the sound my heart made as it broke
Echoed across the room and cut right through the words you spoke
I don't wanna fight till 3 a.m., wake up red eyed and start again
My tears won't solve a thing, oh baby

Do you even know what you're fighting for?
Baby 'cause I can't take it anymore, let's make love not war
We can get it back like it used to be
Lay down your arms, baby, come to me, let's make love not war

Let's make love not war

If love is oxygen we're cutting off the air supply
You sting and I can't breathe, I need to know the reason why
If I've been hard to handle, I'm the first to apologize
'Cause baby this goes both ways, ooh

Do you even know what you're fighting for?
Baby, 'cause I can't take it anymore, let's make love not war
Baby, we can get it back like it used to be
Lay down your arms, baby, come to me, let's make love not war

Let's make love not war

(Just 24 hours ago) just 24 hours ago
(My heart broke as you spoke) my heart broke as you spoke
(I don't wanna fight till 3 a.m.) I don't wanna fight till 3 a.m.
(Wake up and start again) start again

Let's make love

I can take it no more
Love not war
Ohh, yes love

Do you even know what you're fighting for?
Baby, 'cause I can't take it anymore, let's make love not war (I love you, I love you)
We can get it back like it used to be
Lay down your arms, baby, come to me, let's make love not war (I love you, I love you)

Do you even know what you're fighting for?
Baby, 'cause I can't take it anymore, let's make love not war
We can get it back like it used to be (I know you can)
Lay down your arms, baby, come to me, let's make love not war
