She says she loves me, but she's feeling so bad,
She can't seem to trust me,
She's been hurt so bad in the past,
So she tries to control me, keeping me in chains,
'Cause she's so afraid I won't come back again.

Honey, stop these emotional war games,
Stop in the name of love,
Stop before everybody loses,
Stop.

The battle rages day after day,
No one escapes it and no place is safe,
Because just one false move and the shooting starts,
Just one wrong word and we fall apart.

Honey, stop these emotional war games,
Stop in the name of love,
Stop before everybody loses,
Stop.

Is this the tunnel of love' Is it a torture chamber'
Is it a gift from above or are we in some kind of danger'
Or what'

Lord, teach me patience, show me the way,
Teach us forgiveness before it's too late,
Because I want my baby and she wants me too,
But if we don't stop fighting, Lord, we're all through.

Honey, stop these emotional war games,
Stop in the name of love,
Stop before everybody loses,
Stop these emotional war games,
Stop in the name of love,
Stop before everybody loses,
Stop these emotional war games,
Stop in the name of love,
Stop before everybody loses,
Stop.

Stop,
