Struggling with Battle? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Dawn breaks on the battlefield While the mornin' mist lays heavy on the ground And the silence is like thunder As the enemy prepares another round And her soft satin armor Lying on the far side of the bed Wounded and heart broken And scared by the killin' words I said I have no rules in battle So I fire the guns of anger once again Oh, she's such a little thing And there's no doubt about it I can win But with teardrops as her weapon She easily destroys my battle plan And in shamefully retreatin', I smile at her And then she takes command Oh, what a sweet surrender I'm captured by two lips so warm and tender She completely surrounds me with her lovin' arms again It was love that brought the battle to an end Now the enemies are lovers once again
