Wounded In The Battle Of Love
Wounded, Wounded, Wounded by her love
Wounded, Wounded, Wounded by her love

I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (I’ve been wounded in the battle of love)
I took a shot right straight through the heart…
I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (I’ve been wounded in the battle of love)
And it’s slowly tearing me apart
One day I came home from work
I was ready to hit the sack
When I came through the front door
Somеbody slammed, they slammed thе back

Ohhh she broke my heart
Now the damage is done
And it didn’t come from a smoking gun…

I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (wounded in the battle)
I took a shot right straight through the heart… yeah
I’ve been wounded (I’ve been wounded in the battle of love) ah yeah
And it’s slowly tearing me apart

I. never thought she would do me wrong
And I saw her creeping with shorty long ..
I bow my head, hurt me so
The tears.. they begin to flow
I though I had her in the palm of my hand
And I caught her making love to another man…
I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (wounded in the battle of love)
I took a shot right straight through the heart…
I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (wounded in the battle of love)
And it’s slowly tearing me apart – wait a minute here

I need another lover to help me recover
This hurtin feeling, will I ever get over?
This tragedy, oooh its been killing me…

I’ve been Wounded, I’ve been Wounded, Wounded by her love
I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (wounded in the battle of love)
I took a shot right straight through the heart…
I’ve been wounded in the battle of love ( wounded in the battle of love)
And it’s slowly tearing me apart
I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (wounded in the battle of love)
I took a shot right straight, straight through the heart…
I’ve been wounded in the battle of love (wounded in the battle of love)
You know it’s slowly, slowly tearing me apart

I love you baby, you won’t be fair
Wouldn’t go nowhere
I’ve been wounded (in the battle of love)
My heart is bleeding baby
All because of you
Now tell me baby (wounded in the battle of love)
What you want me to do?
Oooh I’ve been wounded …
