Lyrics
I’m in a terrible spot
This town is gettin’ too hot
I feel so sad I could cry
Because I’ve got to kiss my baby goodbye
Refrain:
I’m in love with a soldier boy
So in love with a soldier boy
I’m in love with an army man
And can he send me?
Yes, he certainly can
Every moment that he’s away
I just hang on the phone all day
And at last, when I get his buzz
Say, does it rock me?
Yes, it certainly does
Every evening, this lover of mine
Comes and takes me out somewhere to dine
When he brings me home often he stays
For days and days and days and days
I’m in love with a soldier boy
So in love with a soldier boy
He’s the greatest event in my life
And it’s no wonder, after all
I happen to be his wife
