Soldier of Love - Marshall Crenshaw

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
