Won The Battle

Robert Cray

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 killin' 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
