Let me take these impenetrable arms

And wrap them around you tonight;

I’ll protect you until it is all right.

Let me take these rough lips

And press them against yours, Honey,

So that you might smooth them out.

Don’t let me go off to war,

Without you in my heart.

Don’t let me fly away,

Without knowing your love for me.

-

I’m not just another pair of blue eyes,

and I sure as hell ain’t just another standardized guy.

Baby, when they send me to foreign lands,

Just don’t forget that I’m your man.
Written from the perspective of a soldier.
