JORDIN SPARKS - BATTLEFIELD
Don't Try To Explain Your Mind
I Know What's Happening Here
One Minute It's Love And Suddenly
It's Like A Battlefield
One World Turns Into A War
Why Is It The Smallest Things, That Tear Us Down?
My Worlds Nothing When You're Gone
I'm Out Here With A Shield, Can't Go Back, Now
Both Hands Tied Behind My Back
For Nothing, Oh No
These Times When We Climb So Fast To Fall Again
Why We Gotta Fall For It Now?
I Never Meant To Start A War
You Know I Never Wanna Hurt You
Don't Even Know What We're Fighting For
Why Does Love Always Feel
Like A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
Why Does Love Always Feel
Like A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
Why Does Love Always Feel Like?
Can't Swallow Our Pride
Neither Of Us Wanna Raise That Flag Mmm-Mmm-Mmm
If We Can't Surrender Then
We Both Gonna Lose What We Have, Oh No
Both Hands Tied Behind My Back
For Nothing (Nothing), Oh No
These Times When Climb So Fast To Fall Again
I Don't Wanna Fall For It Now?
I Never Meant To Start A War
You Know I Never Wanna Hurt You
Don't Even Know What We're Fighting For
Why Does Love Always Feel
Like A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
Why Does Love Always Feel
Like A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield)
Guess You Better Go And Get Your Armor
(Get Your Armor) Get Your Armor (Get Your Armor)
Guess You Better Go And Get Your Armor
(Get Your Armor) Get Your Armor (Get Your Armor)
Guess You Better Go And Get Your
We Could Pretend That We Are Friends Tonight (Oh-Oh-Oh)
And In The Morning We Wake Up And We'll Be Alright
'Cause Baby, We Don't Have To Fight
And I Don't Want This Love To Feel Like A Battlefield (Oh)
A Battlefield (Oh), A Battlefield (Oh)
And I Don't Want This Love To Feel Like A Battlefield (Oh)
A Battlefield (Oh), A Battlefield (Oh)
Guess You Better Go And Get Your Armor
I Never Meant To Start A War (Start A War)
You Know I Never Wanna Hurt You
Don't Even Know What We're Fighting For (Fighting-Fighting For)
Why Does Love Always Feel Like A Battlefield?
(Battlefield)
A Battlefield
(Battlefield)
A Battlefield
(Battlefield)
Why Does Love Always Feel Like A Battlefield? (Battlefield)
A Battlefield (Battlefield), A Battlefield (Battlefield)
Guess You Better Go And Get Your Armor

Guess You Better Go And Get Your Armor
(Get Your Armor) Get Your Armor (Get Your Armor)
Why Does Love Always Feel Like? (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
Why Does Love Always Feel Like?
A Battlefield, A Battlefield (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

I Never Meant (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
To Start A War, Don't Even Know
What We're Fighting For (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Louis Biancaniello, Ryan Tedder, Sam Watters, Wayne Wilkins
Producer(s): The Runaways
This Was The First Single And The Title Track From Jordin Sparks' Sophomore Set.
Sparks Performed This Song On The May 13, 2009 Edition Of American Idol. The R&B/Pop Singer Was The Winner Of The Show's Sixth Season.
The Song Was Co-Written And Produced By Onerepublic Frontman Ryan Tedder. His Other Credits Include "Bleeding Love," "Apologize" And "Halo."
In This Mid Tempo R&B Song, A Frustrated Sparks Cries, "Why Does Love Always Feel Like A Battlefield!" Back In 1983 Pat Benatar Sang A Similar Lyric When She Explained, "We Are Strong, No One Can Tell Us Were Wrong. Searchin Our Hearts For So Long, Both Of Us Knowing, Love Is A Battlefield." Sparks Sang Benatar's Song On Idol In 2007. However She Explained In A Press Conference That The Shared Title Was Pure Coincidence. She Said: "When I First Heard The Song, I Fell In Love. I Didn't Think Of Pat Benatar At All." Sparks Added That She Remains A Benatar Fan: "Me And My Mom Have Been Listening To Her Since I Was A Little Kid."
Choosing This Song As The Lead Single Was A Bold Decision, Since It Finds Sparks Taking A Step Away From Her Bright And Breezy Image And Singing Assertively About The Dark Side Of Love. Her Manager Kevin Jonas, Who's Also The Manager (And Father) Of The Jonas Brothers, Explained To Billboard Magazine: "Jordin Started Out As The Youngest American Idol Winner And Had All The Blessings That Come With That. But Now It's Important For Jordin To Tell Everyone, 'I Am A Strong Woman And I Have Something To Say.'"
