Lay down your arms of love
and love me peacefully, yeah
Use your arms for loving me,

and someday you're gonna see,
'cos my love for you baby,

A soldier of love is hard to be

Lay down your arms of love,
and let the peacefully
Lay down your arms of love
and surrender to me, yeah
Use your arms for squeezing,
and please the one that you want to hold

Soldier of love,
