Jerry Goldsmith - A Girl Worth Fighting For lyrics

rate me

For a long time we've been marching off to battle<br />

In a thundering herd, we feel a lot like cattle<br />

Like the pounding beet, our aching feet aren't easy to ignore<br />

Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for<br />

<br />

That's what I said, a girl worth fighting for<br />

I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars<br />

[Incomprehensible] my strength, adore my battle scars<br />

I couldn't care what she'll wear or looks like<br />

It all depends on what she cooks like, beef, pork, chicken<br />

<br />

Bet the local girls think you are quite the charmer<br />

And I bet the ladies love a man in armor<br />

You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to war<br />

What do we want, a girl worth fighting for<br />

<br />

My girl will think I have no faults that I'm a major find<br />

Uh, how 'bout a girl who's got a brain who always thinks her mind?<br />

Nah<br />

My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her<br />

He thinks he's such a lady killer<br />

<br />

Have a girl back home who's unlike any other<br />

Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother<br />

But when we come home in victory they'll line up the door<br />

What do we want? A girl worth fighting for<br />

Wish that I had, a girl worth fighting for<br />

A girl worth fighting
