Love Not War (The Tampa Beat)

Bust it open for a gift

I put diamonds on your wrist

I can't buy your lovin'

It's never enough

I took that girl on a trip

'Cause we was arguin'

Ever since we stopped touchin'

We're not in touch

I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love

I guess I didn't try, try hard enough

But we could work this like a 9 to 5

Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games

Steady throwin' dollars, expectin' change

But every war ends the same

Can we just

Make love

Not war?

Can we just

Make love

Not war?

I solve my problems with a check

Now I'm payin' for it

You wanted nothin', uh

Nothin' but love

I can't lie, I'm a mess

I'm too jealous, yes

It's so hard to trust you

When I don't trust myself

I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love

I guess I didn't try, try hard enough

But we could work this like a 9 to 5

Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games

Steady throwin' dollars, expectin' change

But every war ends the same

Can we just

Make love

Not war?

Can we just

Make love

Not war?

And my people say

Let's just try some lovin', babe

'Cause, shawty, I know

I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love

I guess I didn't try, try hard enough

Girl, we could work it like a 9 to 5, 5, 5, woah-oh, baby

Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games

Steady throwin' dollars, expectin' change

But every war ends the same

Can we just

Make love

Not war?

Oh, baby

Can we just

Make love

Not war?

Not war, babe
