[Verse 1]
I'm feeling kind of edgy
My heart beats louder when you console me
I'm feeling pretty crazy
It's because you caused me so much fear
Words they come in too quick
Why now I don't speak
I'm treadin' oh so lightly
I'm giving up, why don't you understand?
[Pre-Chorus]
A princess needs to be
Treated like a queen
And given everything
So please don't pick a fight
Gonna have to run tonight
This happens every time
I'm burning up inside
Whoa
[Chorus]
Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
With you
Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
I don't know what I'm here waiting for
Don't want to start a war
It'll only hurt me more
Back off, or I'll break us
Don't wanna start a war
Start a war, baby
Or this could get ugly
[Post-Chorus]
This could get ugly
This could get ugly
Yea, this could get ugly
This could get ugly
[Verse 2]
I gave you everything so sweet
I gave you everything I had in me
My love for you runs so deep
But you hurt me then and don't you understand
[Pre-Chorus]
A princess needs to be
Treated like a queen
And given everything
So please don't pick a fight
I'm gonna have to run tonight
This happens every time
I'm burning up inside
Whoa
[Chorus]
Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
With you
Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
I don't know what I'm here waiting for
Don't want to start a war
It'll only hurt me more
Back off, or I'll break us
Don't wanna start a war
Start a war, baby
Or this could get ugly
[Bridge]
I've got a heart of stone, a heart of stone
I've got a heart of stone, a heart of stone
I've got a heart of stone, a heart of stone
I've got a heart of stone
[Chorus]
Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
With you
Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
I don't know what I'm here waiting for
Don't want to start a war
It'll only hurt me more
Back off, or I'll break us
Don't wanna start a war
Start a war, baby
Or this could get ugly
[Outro]
This could get ugly
This could get ugly
Yea, this could get ugly
This could get ugly
I'm feeling kind of edgy
My heart beats louder when you console me
I'm feeling pretty crazy
It's because you caused me so much fear
Words they come in too quick
Why now I don't speak
I'm treadin' oh so lightly
I'm giving up, why don't you understand?

Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
With you
Don't wanna start a war
Don't wanna start a war
I don't know what I'm here waiting for
Don't want to start a war
It'll only hurt me more
Back off, or I'll break us
Don't wanna start a war
Start a war, baby
Or this could get ugly

This could get ugly
This could get ugly

Start a war, baby

This could get ugly
This could get ugly
Yea, this could get ugly
This could get ugly
