Marvin Gaye - Soldier's Plea Lyrics

While I'm away, darling
I hope you'll think of me
Remember, I'm over here
Fighting to keep us free

Just be my little girl and always be true
And I'll be a faithful soldier boy to you

They say I'm now a man
And should be stout at heart
But I don't think I'll make it, dear
If you don't play your part

Just say you'll be my girl and always be true
And I'll be a faithful soldier boy to you
(Soldier boy to you)

We all must do our share
And darling, I don't mind
The only thing that's grieving me
Is leaving you behind

Just say you'll be my girl and always be true
And I'll be a loving soldier boy
I'll be a faithful soldier boy
I'll be a loving soldier boy to you
