Tug of War Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, hmm
(Songbook, baby)
Hmm-hmm, no
Just wanna tell you how I feel
I never wanna lose you
I'm tryna save what we have
(Wow, it's like a breath of fresh air)
Oh, ooh, no
Damn

[Chorus]
Why don't we talk no more?
You told me you needed space, yeah
Traded my time for yours
Now all you want is a break
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Don't you know I love you crazy?
It ain't okay just to leave it like that
It ain't no way, look, baby
Let you go, I had to be a maniac
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
I been blowin' up your phone
I don't care, I don't care
[Chorus]
Why don't we talk no more? (Won't talk)
You told me you needed space, yeah (Yeah)
Traded my time for yours (Damn)
Now all you want is a break (What's up with that though?)
Tired of fightin' love (Ooh-woah)
Feelin' like I can't win (Can't win, can't win, can't win)
It's just like a tug of war
Tug of war, ooh, ooh-ooh

[Post-Chorus]
I keep on tuggin', you pullin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
I keep on pullin, you pushin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I keep on tuggin', you pullin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
I keep on pullin, you pushin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Why you wanna treat a nigga this way, babe? (Yeah, yeah)
Got me feelin' like you never really loved me, babe
Is you tryna tell me it's over?
Well I'm tryna tell you it can't be, no, no

[Chorus]
Why don't we talk no more? (No more)
You told me you needed space, yeah (Yeah)
Traded my time for yours (Time for yours)
Now all you want is a break (All you want is a break)
Tired of fightin' love (I'll never win)
Feelin' like I can't win (I can't win, no, no, no)
It's just like a tug of war (Tug of war)
Tug of war
[Post-Chorus]
I keep on tuggin', you pullin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
I keep on pullin, you pushin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I keep on tuggin', you pullin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
I keep on pullin, you pushin' away (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)

[Outro]
Why-why don't we, why don't talk no more?
You said you needed your space (Need you space)
But you didn't mind when I needed mine, traded my time (Time for you)
Yeah, now what you say? You need a break, oh-woah
I'm pullin' for love, tell me why you pushin' away?
I'm tired of fightin' love (So tired, oh)
Feelin' like I can't win (I can't win)
It's just like a tug of war (Tug of 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 [?]
