Ginny was my baby love
And I could never get enough
Of her sweet flesh on mine
We wrote it on the walls
We would do it in the halls
Hot fox, I got her just in time
But Kenny Morgan had his eye on her
Number one soldier in school
Whatever he wanted he'd destroy to get
Live and die by greaser rule
Your lady or your life
Are you man enough to fight
Your lady or your life
We could persuade you with a knife
Your lady or your life
Fight for my right to love
Hangin' at the pizza joint
He sent his boys to make his point
Just stay away from that girl
I was s'posed to fade away
While he moved in to make his play
A cold day in hell
I gave them my answer and I turned away
The lines of sweat ran down my face
I never thought love'd come to this
Chokin' on my heart I heard them say
Your lady or your life
Are you man enough to fight
Your lady or your life
We could persuade you with a knife
Your lady or your life
Fight for my right to love
Well, we drove out in the night
And I held my Ginny tight
I knew I had to make a stand
I met Morgan all alone
On old army trail road
The battle ground was cold and damp
He got the first punch and he pulled me down
There was no contest in this fight
He pounded on me till I heard a siren die
I was spared that night by blue mars lights
Your lady or your life
Are you man enough to fight
Your lady or your life
We could persuade you with a knife
Your lady or your life
Fight for my right to love
