Soldier of Love lyrics

Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)

And surrender to me (Sha la, la)

Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)

And love me peacefully (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)

Use your arms for loving me

Baby, that's the way it's gotta be (Ooh)

There ain't no reason for you to declare

War on the one that loves you so

So forget the other boys because my love is real

Come off your battlefield

Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)

And love me peacefully (Sha la, la)

Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)

And love me tenderly (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)

Use your arms to hold me tight

Baby, I don't wanna fight no more (Ooh)

The weapons you're using are hurtin' me bad

But someday you're gonna see

That my love for you baby, is the truest you've ever had

A Soldier of Love, that's hard to be

Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)

And love me peacefully (Sha la, la)

Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)

And surrender to me (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)

Use your arms to squeeze and please cos I'm the one that loves you so

(Yeah, soldier of love) Baby, lay down your arms

(Yeah, soldier of love) Baby, lay down your arms

(Yeah, yeah)
