Now all is fair in love and war at least that's what you say
But if it's true I'm telling you I'm declaring war today
I love her and I'll fight for her it that's how it must be
Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me

In this old world there's lots of girls enough to go around
Before you'll take her love from me I'll be six feet under ground
It's true that she once cared for you but she's made her choice you see
Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me

Now I'm not trying to be brave you could be a better man
But I got true love on my side so come and get her if you can
You had your chance to win her love now she's private property
Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me
Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me
