Man O’ War Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep your heart at bay
I got you covered in every way
No self-defense, I go to shake your confidence
You know I got you beat
Surrender and admit defeat
'Cause I'm a new recruit
If you turn your back, I'm gonna have to shoot

[Pre-Chorus]
I got you in my sight
Do you think it's worth a fight?
'Cause when I pull the pin, you know I aim to win

[Chorus]
Man of war, what are you fighting for?
Tell me why you're holding out for more
Man of war, what are you gonna do?
'Cause I'm the one for you
Man of war, you know you dropped a bomb
Hit my heart and bang, bang, I'm gone
Man of war, I'm on a winning side
You've got no place to hide

[Verse 2]
I know I made a kill
Heavy armor, gonna take that hill
Push and push until I make you mine
Resistin', mister? It's a waste of time
I'm breaking through, the rest is up to you
I gave it all I got, so give me back my shot
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a planned attack
But you keep holding back
I'm gonna mobilize and open up your eyes

[Chorus]
Man of war, what are you fighting for?
Tell me why you're holding out for more
Man of war, what are you gonna do?
'Cause I'm the one for you
Man of war, you know you dropped a bomb
Hit my heart and bang, bang, I'm gone
Man of war, I'm on a winning side
You've got no place (No) to hide

[Bridge]
Surrender (Lay down your arms)
'Cause you're in the Love Corps (Man of war)

[Pre-Chorus]
I got you in my sight
Do you think it's worth a fight?
'Cause when I pull the pin, you know I aim to win

[Chorus]
Man of war, what are you fighting for?
Tell me why you're holding out for more
Man of war, what are you gonna do?
'Cause I'm the one for you
Man of war, you know you dropped a bomb
Hit my heart and bang, bang, I'm gone
Man of war, I'm on a winning side
You've got no place (Oh) to hide
[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Man of war, man of war
What you fighting for?
Man of war
What you fighting for, fighting for?
Man of war, of war

[Chorus]
Man of war, what are you fighting for? (Man of war)
Tell me why you're holding out for more
Man of war, what are you gonna do? (Man of war)
'Cause I'm the one for you
Man of war, you know you dropped a bomb (Man of war)
Hit my heart and bang, bang, I'm gone
Man of war, I'm on a winning side (Man of war)
You've got no place to hide
Man of war, what are you fighting for? (Man of war)
Tell me why you're holding out for more
Man of war, what are you gonna do? (Man of war)
'Cause I'm the one for you
Man of war, you know you dropped a bomb (Man of war)
Hit my heart and bang, bang, I'm gone

[Outro]
(Man of war)
(Man of war)
(Man of war, war)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
