Some Unholy War
Amy Winehouse Lyrics
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fighting for
He can't lose with me in tow
(With me in tow)
I refuse to let him go
(To let him go)
We wait for the blow
We put it in writing
But who you writing for?
Just us on kitchen floor
Justice done
Reciting, my stomach standing still
Like you're reading my will
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
(Still standing tall)
And I'll battle 'til this bitter finale
(Let all them know)
Just me, my dignity, and this guitar case, whoa, whoa
If, if my man is fighting some unholy war
I will stand beside you
And who you dying for?
B, I would have died too
I'd have liked to
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
