All the girls love a soldier they say Marching home proud at the end of the day All the girls love a soldier they say I want to be loved that way I felt so young at the start of it all Boys from our town I remember from school Eager to fight Eyes shining bright Standing tall We played this game It still seemed like game All the girls love a soldier they say Marching home proud at the end of the day All the girls love a soldier they say I want to be loved that way Soon we were fighting and everything changed Shooting at men who I thought I would hate Enemy friend In the end Look the same Scared wide eyes I can't forget his eyes All the girls love a soldier they say Battered and cold at the end of the day All the girls love a soldier they say I want to be loved that way Living with terror by night and by day Heroes run forwards and cowards run away Nothing seem real I no longer feel Any pain I want to run From what I have become All the girls love a soldier they say Hollow and cold at the end of the day All the girls love a soldier they say I want to be loved that way I felt so numb by the end of it all Boys from our town I remember from school Those left to fight Eyes without light Wait to fall Forever changed Could never be the same All the girls love a soldier they said Crying and shaking and wetting the bed Waking from nightmares that won't leave my head Wishing that I was dead All the girls love a soldier they say Marching home proud at the end of the day All the girls love a soldier they say I want to be loved that way
