[Verse 1]
Just a couple in the park
Pounding out those games in the dark
Those who walk past her screams
Are only reminded of love’s young dreams
A scuffle, violating arms
Can only prove the strength of her charms
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey man, you’re pinned up
On the wall in front of you
A soldier’s life is very tough
Needs tender loving when fighting’s through
[Chorus 1]
Join the professionals
The professionals
Join the professionals
The professionals
Join the professionals
The professionals
[Verse 2]
Yes they’re really strangers in the night
Oh they’re saying to me if you put up a fight
It’s not just a kiss you owe me
With all this ammunition loaded
I bought you a drink
And well, we’re walking hand in hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey man, you’re pinned up
On the wall in front of you
A soldier’s life is very tough
Needs tender loving when fighting’s through
[Chorus 2]
Save the professionals
The professionals
Save the professionals
The professionals
Save the professionals
The professionals
[Verse 3]
Seaside town, off-duty trip
Taking flesh, going to let it rip
With rings on her fingers
Sharp like the taste that still lingers
Flavor of this month — center spread
57 Page Three varieties in her head
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey man, you’re pinned up
On the wall in front of you
A soldier’s life is very tough
Needs tender loving when fighting’s through
[Chorus 2]
Save the professionals
The professionals
Save the professionals
The professionals
Save the professionals
The professionals
