Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a ship that made of paper
Whoa, yeah, I will sail the seven seas
Fight a shark, baby, with a toothpick
Crawl home to you on my knees
There ain't nothin', baby, I wouldn't do, sugar
Oh, yeah, baby, just to bring you home with me
[Verse 2]
I would rise up with the devil
Oh, yeah, I would breathe smoke and fire
Or say were I on a tightrope
Walk a canyon on a wire
Just to kiss your sweet lips, honey
Oh, yeah, baby, you know you my desire
[Verse 3]
If a shark bite off my leg
Oh, baby, the sea were turned to sand
Turn my poor self over, darlin'
Crawl home to you on my hands
There ain't nothin', nothin' I wouldn't do, baby
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, baby, just to be with you
[Verse 4]
Give up all of my money
Oh, oh, babe, I'd sleep right down on the floor
Call my mother-in-law, honey
Whoa, hard I'd work for you till I get sore
I would do anything for you, baby
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, just to get you home once more
