Soldier of Love [Lay Down Your Arms]

Lay down your arms of love

And surrender to me

Lay down your arms of love

And love me peacefully, yeah

Use your arms for loving me

Baby that's the way it's got to be

There ain't no reason for you to be bad

For you're the woman and I love you so

So forget the other boys, cause my love is real

Come off your battlefield

Lay down your arms of love

And love me peacefully

Lay down your arms of love

And love me tenderly, yeah

Use your arms for squeezing

And please the one that you want to hold

Soldier of love

The weapons you're using

Are hurting me bad

And someday you're going to see

Cause my love for you baby

Is the truest you've ever had

A soldier of love is hard to be

Lay down your arms of love

And love me peacefully

Lay down your arms of love

And surrender to me, yeah

Use your arms for hold me tight

Baby I don't want to fight no more

Baby lay down your arms

Soldier of love

Baby lay down your arms
