Lay down your arms of love 
And surrender to me
Lay down your arms of love
And love me peacefully, yeah

Use your arms for loving me
Baby that's the way it's got to be

There ain't no reason for you to be bad 
For you're the woman and I love you so

So forget the other boys, cause my love is real
Come off your battlefield

Lay down your arms of love
And love me peacefully
Lay down your arms of love 
And love me tenderly, yeah

Use your arms for hold me tight
Baby I don't want to fight no more 

The weapons you're using 
Are hurting me bad
And someday you're going to see
Cause my love for you baby
Is the truest you've ever had
A soldier of love is hard to be

Lay down your arms of love 
And love me peacefully
Lay down your arms of love 
And surrender to me, yeah

Use your arms for squeezing
And please the one that you want to hold
Soldier of love

Baby lay down your arms
Soldier of love
Baby lay down your arms

The Beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. Their best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, they later utilised several genres, ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. more »
