(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
