Duet with Millie Jackson
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

This ain´t no battle honey, this ain´t no fight

How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night
If I take a drink, is that against the law
And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war

Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home
I didn´t build it up for you to live here on my own
And if you think it´s easy to forget about me
You´d better think twice, you´d better believe it´s an act of war

We´re living on the front line you and me
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
And we´ll make this an act of war

Give it all you´ve got `cause I´m all dug in
Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war

Well I´m a man of convenience I work a long hard day
After twelve long hours ain´t I got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war

Well if that´s your game then honey two can play
I´m going on the town tonight and have some fun my way
Ain´t no way baby this girl´s gonna stay
I call it, I call it an act of war

And it looks like time ain´t been on our side
If we could turn the clock back
We might survive this act of war
