Bruised up and skinny as a stray

No one I know so underpaid

Been around the block about a 100 times today

Won't leave you alone no matter what you say

Love soldiers on love soldiers on

There's nothing you can do love will soldier on

Lock it out and don't return its call

Swear you don't know its face at all

Throw it in the river lose it in the storm

It will show up in its bandages tomorrow at your door

Love soldiers on love soldiers on

There's nothing you can do love will soldier on

I know you've been hurt before it's been beat up even more

Scars you've never seen before from every country and every war

You think that love is lost

You swear you've run it off

But it don't ask for nothing it's got courage like the wind

Out between the streetlights waiting to come in

Love soldiers on love soldiers on

There's nothing you can do love will soldier on

There's nothing you can do love soldiers on

On and on and on

On and on and on
