The kids are playing in the sun. 
They think their life has just begun. 
For them it's just another day. 
Playing games only kids would play. 
There won't be a me and you. 
If we keep on fighting like we do. 
Baby don't you walk away, 
Saying things only kids would say. 
Kids, what do they know about nothing now. 
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you're gone. 
Just another California day.

[Chorus]
Take your kid gloves off, this is love not war. 
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for. 
Take your kid gloves off, this is love not war. 
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for. 

You shout with nothing to say. 
And fight 'till you get your way. 
It hurts but what can I do, 
I won't turn into a kid too. 
Kids, what do they know about nothing now. 
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you're gone. 

[Chorus] 
Take your kid gloves off, this is love not war. 
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for. 
Take your kid gloves off, this is love not war. 
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for.

You're playing in the setting sun. 
You're thinking life has just begun. 
You're throwing all my love away. 
Just another California day. 

Kids what do they know about nothing now, 
Just another California day.
Lover, loving you here and I love when you're gone.
Just another California day.

[Chorus] 
Take your kid gloves off, this is love not war. 
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for. 
Take your kid gloves off, this is love not war. 
Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for
