Soldier of Love (Live at the BBC for "Pop Go The Beatles" / 16th July, 1963) Lyrics

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)
Yeah (sha-la-la)
Use your arms for loving me
Baby, that's the way it's gotta be
(Ooh-oo-oo-oo)

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 love me peacefully (sha-la-la)
Lay down your arms (soldier of love)
And love me tenderly (sha-la-la)
Yeah (sha-la-la)
Use your arms to hold me tight
Baby, I don't wanna fight no more
(Ooh-oo-oo-oo)

The weapons you're using are hurting me bad
And someday you're gonna see
'Cause my love for you baby
Is the truest you've ever had
A soldier of love, that's hard to beat

Lay down your arms of love (soldier of love)
And love me peacefully (sha-la-la)
Lay down your arms of love (soldier of love)
And surrender to me (sha-la-la)
Yeah (sha-la-la)
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, yeah (soldier of love)
Baby lay down your arms yeah, yeah (soldier of love)
