A Girl Worth Fighting For (From "Mulan"/Soundtrack)

For a long time we've been marching off to battle

In our thundering herd, we feel a lot like cattle

Like the pounding beat, our aching feet aren't easy to ignore

Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for

Huh?

That's what I said, a girl worth fighting for

I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars

My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars

I couldn't care less what she'll wear or what she looks like

It all depends on what she cooks like

Beef, pork, chicken, mmm

Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer

And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor

You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to war

What do we want?

A girl worth fighting for

My girl will think I have no faults

That I'm a major find

Uh, how 'bout a girl who's got a brain

Who always speaks her mind?

Nah!

My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her

He thinks he's such a lady killer

I've a girl back home who's unlike any other

Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother

But when we come home in victory they'll line up at the door

What do we want?

A girl worth fighting for

Wish that I had

A girl worth fighting for

A girl worth fighting-
