I Love a Man in a Uniform Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time with my girl, I spent it well
I had to be strong for my woman
(You must be joking, oh man, you must be joking!)
She needed to be protected

[Pre-Chorus]
The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my self-respect
So I got into camouflage

The girls, they love to see you shoot

[Chorus]
I love a man in a uniform!
I love a man in a uniform!
I love a man in a uniform!
I love a man in a uniform!

[Verse 2]
To have ambitions was my ambition
But I had nothing to show for my dreams
Time with my girl, I spent it well
(You must be joking, oh man, you must be joking!)

[Pre-Chorus]
The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my confidence
So I got into camouflage

The girls, they love to see you shoot

[Chorus]
I love a man in a uniform!
I love a man in a uniform!
I love a man in a uniform!
I love a man in a uniform!

[Bridge]
I need an order! (Shoot! Shoot!)
I need an order! (Shoot! Shoot!)
I need an order! (Shoot! Shoot!)
I need an order! (Shoot! Shoot!)

To have ambition was my ambition
Time with my girl, I spent it well
(You must be joking, oh man, you must be joking!)

The girls, they love to see you shoot
The girls, they love to see you shoot

[Chorus]
I love a man in a uniform!
I love a man in a uniform!
(They love to see you shoot!)
I love a man in a uniform!

[Outro]
The girls, they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform!
(They love to see you shoot!)
The girls, they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform!
(They love it, they love it, they love it, they love to see you shoot!)
The girls, they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform!
(They love it, they love it, they love it, they love to see you shoot!)
The girls, they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform!
(They love it, they love it, they love it, they love to see you shoot!)
The girls, they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform!
(They love it, they love it, they love it, they love to see you shoot!)
The girls, they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform!
(They love it, they love it…)
