Soldier Of Love Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

(b. cason, t. moon) 

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 la) yeah (sha la) 

Use your arms for loving me 

Baby that's the way it's gotta be 

There ain't no reason for you to declare 

War on the one that loves you so 

So forget the other boys 

'cause my love is real 

Come off your battlefield 

Lay down your arms (soldier of love) 

And just surrender to me (sha la la) 

Lay down your arms (soldier of love) 

And love me tenderly (sha la la) yeah (sha la) 

Use your arms to hold me tight 

Baby, I don't want to fight no more 

The weapons you're using are hurtin' me bad 

And someday you're gonna see 

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

A soldier of love is hard to be 

Lay down your arms (soldier of love) 

And surrender to me (sha la la) 

Now lay down your arms (soldier of love) 

And love me tenderly (sha la la la) yeah (sha la) 

Use your arms to please and squeeze 

Cause I'm the one that loves you so 

Oh, lay down your arms 

I said, lay down your arms
