Story Behind The Song
Feeling the bitter desperation when going through a breakup, especially if you did not want it, leaves us shell shocked like military battle.
Song Description
A play on words about the devastation that occurs in one's heart when a lover breaks it off. While those who look on see no big deal often, that doesn't help the friend who is hurting from jilted unrequited love.

Lyrics
World War III
words and music by Alan Cartee & Jon Moore
copyright and publishing 2003 Cartee Day Entertainment
Hit me like workd war three when you left me
Hit me like workd war three dropped a bomb on me
So devastating going down in history
Flying high when I strayed into your danger zone
Despite the warning hot pursuit was on
Can?t resist a challenge determined not to be shot down
Happened so fast caught in a real dog fight
Fired a direct hit straight into my heart
Threw my love in a tailspin and I couldn?t pull out
Chorus
Just another notch on your top gun
Seem to get a thrill watching me crash and burn
Casualty of love ? victim of romance
Chorus out
