Lay down your arms (soldier of love)
And surrender to me (shaha la)
Lay down your arms (soldier of love)
And love me peacefully (shala la) yeah
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 (shala la)
Lay down your arms (soldier of love)
And love me tenderly (shala la) yeah
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 (shala la)
Lay down your arms (soldier of love)
And surrender to me (Shala la) yeah
Use your arms to squeeze and please 'cause I'm the one that loves you so
(Yeah, soldier of love) baby, lay down your arms
(Yeah, soldier of love) baby, lay down arms (yeah)
