Osmond, Donny - Soldier Of Love Lyrics






So you heard that I'm a rebel
With a heart made of stone
I got a restless spirit
That nobody can own

If a picture tells a story
Won't you listen to mine
I'm searching for the answer
But it's so hard to find

You'll see much deeper
When you read between the lines
'Cause there's a fire
Burning in my eyes

Like a thief in the night
Who can't get enough
I am willing to fight
'Cause I'm a soldier of love

Like a shot in the dark
When the goin' gets rough
It's a state of the heart
When you're a soldier of love
I willing to fight

Love can be so heartless
When you turn out the lights
A mutual surrender
In the heat of the night

Life's an empty picture
when you're living alone
Maybe that's the reason
Every heart needs a home

Each time I fall down
I get on my feet again
I'm gonna win this battle
In the end

Like a thief in the night
Who can't get enough
I am willing to fight
'Cause I'm a soldier of love

Like a shot in the dark
When the goin' gets rough
It's a state of the heart
When you're a soldier of love

You'll see much deeper
When you read between the lines
Cause there's a fire
Burning in my eyes

Like a thief in the night
Who can't get enough
I am willing to fight
'Cause I'm a soldier of love

Like a shot in the dark
When the goin' gets rough
It's a state of the heart
When you're a soldier of love

Shalalalalala, when the goin' gets rough
Shalalalalala, I'm a soldier of love
Shalalalalala, when the goin' gets rough
Shalalalalala, a soldier for your love

Like a thief in the night
Who can't get enough
I am willing to fight
'Cause I'm a soldier of love

Like a shot in the dark
When the goin' gets rough
It's a state of the heart
When you're a soldier of love

Osmond, Donny Soldier Of Love Comments
  1. b.... b....

    is that sexy singer  Stacey Earl ('Romeo or Juiet') in green skirt ?

  2. c.... ....

    looks like Jordan Knight from NKOTB

  3. W.... B....

    Donny Osmond  just an all around good guy

  4. U.... ....

    Donny's comeback song... :)

  5. D.... ....

    Michael Bay directed this music video.

  6. K.... ....

    It has a great early-to-mid 80s feelz to it, for a song released in 1989 aka the last year of the greatest musical decade in history of mankind.

  7. J.... B....

    EXCELLENT song!

  8. a.... ....

    After 25 years of denial ok I admit it...I like it

  9. E.... W....

    Who were the dancers?

    Video was directed by Michael Bay....

  10. M.... ....

    i bet donny got fed up with his image as a 14 year old singing puppy love donny you rock !

  11. R.... L....

    The scary part of this is that it's actually a good song.  It was back in 89 too.

  12. A.... ....

    Yes, if you all remember this song came out with no identification of who the artist was. I think this may have been the first time this ever happen. I know people were like who is this? (haha)

  13. S.... ....

    Daehawk that girl in the green dress looks like an actress on the soap opera General Hospital - I forget her name but she has an English accent - I think it's her .

    S.... ....

    Finola Hughes

  14. S.... ....

    I miss the late 80's

  15. A.... ....

    Donny got hot.

  16. M.... ....

    The worlds sexiest Grandad

  17. r.... ....

    This isn't bad at all.

  18. k.... ....

    To some of the people commenting on his not being it the shots with the women, keep in mind it might very well be because of his faith. I don't know all the ins and outs of being a Mormon (obviously) but I know they do have some rules about how they conduct themselves around the opposite sex. What exactly they are, I don't know, not being Mormon myself. I just know a couple and they tend to shy away from women that are scantily clad. Especially when they're married.
    I'm not saying that IS the reason for the way he did the video, I'm just saying there's likely more going on than simply what you think you know.
    I know this was done when he was trying to remake his career but I'm not sure it was what he actually Wanted. I always got the impression that if it weren't for trying to stay in the fame game, he would have been happier staying the way he was with out all the fluff and tight jeans.
    Do I wish he stayed as he was? Helll No. He's one of those guys that when wearing tight jeans, he makes even the most frigid gal swoon and pant. lol

  19. D.... ....

    Musta been about 30 there. seems so young. Who is the hot brunette dancer? Not the backup singers but the dancer? She seems so familiar.

    D.... ....

    Looks like one of the girls from a Robert Palmer video

  20. D.... ....

    I remember this on the radio in my first car. I loved it. Then found it was Donny and thought that had to be wrong. I grew up in the 70's on Donny and Marie...I couldn't believe he sounded this way. Loved. Still do today. Showed it to my woman who is a big Puppy Love / Donny fan :)

  21. B.... W....

    this was Donny Osmond's comeback hit. it peaked at #2 in 1989. on my all time favorite songs countdown thru 2013 it's #1060

    B.... W....

    Should have been #1 but I think they did not want to give him a #1 song for some reason..

  22. 2.... ....

    Donny's voice breaks through every now and then to be extrordinary, but the right material wasnot found for him at that time and the video is dismal. the woman are borderline grotesque, and the Osmond prudeness would not have donny actually seen with them being all sexy with the song. That makes the video seem weird and unaffective. Donny did well to go to broadway, but I would have loved to see and hear great pop work from him out of the 80's if the right people had cared.

  23. f.... f....

    I LOVE DONNY OSMOND SO MUCH. I reliy love you my mom does to you mack me so happy i what you to sing here in beecher<3

  24. J.... M....

    Nice song.

  25. a.... ....

    And that's the MTV I will always remember. I don't even want to see how MTV is now.

  26. m.... ....

    I love this one Donny. Love from your fan Heather

  27. t.... ....

    This song was playing on MTV when I first kissed my wife. Been married 23 years. Going to see Donny and Marie tonight. Time moves pretty fast.

  28. M.... ....

    How can a grandad be sexy like donny ?

  29. E.... G....

    Great song I love Donny a goregous goregous man forever & a great artist!!!!!

  30. s.... ....

    i love Donny forever

  31. l.... ....

    He is the guy that Beiber dude wishes he could be.

  32. l.... ....

    It was actually 1989..It reached # 2 on the charts when it was released.

  33. D.... B....

    Yeah I remember when MTV got started....showing music videos...I agree with you!

  34. a.... v....

    love this song but this video is cheesy lol..

  35. R.... W....

    That's just because it's typical of late 80s pop music. A few decades later, everything from a particular period sounds the same.

  36. S.... ....

    Fabulousssssssssssss!

  37. R.... L....

    DJs would not announce his name when they'd play this song originally.

  38. S.... ....

    Michael Bay's directorial debut.

  39. T.... P....

    Gosh I remember the first time I heard this song like yesterday. It was at the grand opening of the Genuardi's in Coatesville PA where I then worked. After moving in 2002, that store became a Giant in 2012, while the original building wound up as a courthouse!

  40. K.... F....

    I am willing to fight cause I'm a soldier of love

  41. c.... ....

    Donny Osmond is sooooo hot!

  42. m.... s....

    man u read my mind this song sounds something George Michael would sing like a leftover from Faith

  43. c.... ....

    I've always said this about him - his vocals can stand up to ANY singer in the last 40 years

  44. E.... ....

    Sorry, but this song is pretty similar to something George Michael has done. Not saying he's imitating him or anything, just saying that there are similarities.

  45. D.... W....

    Billboard's #57 song of the '89 survey year. Thanx for postin' it.

  46. m.... ....

    My mom and I saw him perform this live a couple of weekends ago

  47. J.... P....

    he looks different here hes starting to look old

  48. P.... H....

    I LOVE THIS SONG.BUT I LOVE DONNY,WHAT MORE CAN I SAY HE IS A GENTEL MAN.LOVE,LOVE IT.

  49. d.... ....

    Produced by Peter Gabriel. Yep, THAT Peter Gabriel.

  50. G.... T....

    Yeah, this was the good old days when Rock N' Roll still had integrity!

  51. l.... ....

    They played this ALL the time on the station i listened to when I lived in Phoenix people were REQUESTING it

  52. G.... ....

    I got to meet him when I was really little. He was really nice and signed a cassette for me. I still have it.

  53. M.... ....

    Worlds sexiest grandad

  54. M.... ....

    It's weird he's the voice of Shang in Mulan.. he sounds so different here.

  55. J.... W....

    why would anyone say that Donny Osmond is Radio poison? This song rocks.

  56. J.... W....

    even though I like this song, it reminds me of a cross of the tail end of Micheal Jackson's song
    Black or White and a Doodle Bop Song. sorry but that's what I hear. all in all I think it's got a
    an awesome beat and the song does rock.

  57. n.... ....

    I heard Donny is making a re-do of this song for a come back :)

  58. M.... J....

    And it shot all the way up to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100!

  59. m.... ....

    He has covered it: watch?v=YGBky3G-CZw

  60. C.... ....

    What a great song.

  61. M.... ....

    the worlds hottest grandad

  62. l.... ....

    Never heard this song before. It's great! Thanks! :)

  63. B.... ....

    Seriously? You're saying he sounds like George Michael?? NO.... he sound's nothing like GM... both good singers in their own right. Totally different.

  72. W.... W....

    Isn't this the song they promoted without telling who the singer was until everyone fell in love with it?

  73. S.... G....

    i forgot about this song until i watched Dr Phil talking to Donny Osmond

  74. M.... ....

    What a comeback for Donny Osmond. I remember seeing a 60 Minutes story on him in the fall of 1988. The interviewer asked Donny what he was told on how to be popular again and Donny said (with what appeared to be tears welling up) "get busted". They replayed that segment after his surprise success the following year. This was a heady time for Donny and strangely enough, this is my favorite phase of his career. Soldier Of Love peaked at #2 on the 6-3-89 Billboard Hot 100. Up from obscurity at 31.

  75. D.... S....

    Loved this song when it was out! Loved Donnie even more!

  76. P.... S....

    This song gets me all the womens.
