A Girl Worth Fighting For

For a long time we've been marching off to battle

In a thundering herd, we feel a lot like cattle

Like the pounding beet, our aching feet aren't easy to ignore

Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for

That's what I said, a girl worth fighting for

I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars

my strength, adore my battle scars

I couldn't care what she'll wear or looks like

It all depends on what she cooks like, beef, pork, chicken

Bet the local girls think you are quite the charmer

And I bet the ladies love a man in armor

You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to war

What do we want, a girl worth fighting for

My girl will think I have no faults that I'm a major find

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

Nah

My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her

He thinks he's such a lady killer

Have a girl back home who's unlike any other

Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother

But when we come home in victory they'll line up the door

What do we want? A girl worth fighting for

Wish that I had, a girl worth fighting for

A girl worth fighting
