"A Girl Worth Fighting For" is a song from Disney's 1998 film Mulan. It features the men of the army Mulan has secretly joined in disguise singing about their dream girls to distract from the pains of marching for so long. They mainly sing about wanting girls who are beautiful, adore them, or cook well, while Mulan says a smart and outspoken one.
Lyrics[]
- 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
- 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
- How 'bout a girl who's got a brain
- Who always speaks her mind?
- 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
- Yet 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...
