All dressed in woolen bloomers you were
a sleepy little sailor
fighting for his dreams
out in crashing sea.
She'll put you in a corner for your
boyish little nature
and send you off to be
with your bottom red.
Under cover
you wanna love her
but you won't behave.
She'll make you wait for
what you crave.
Now on the sea you'll search forever
lovers that you squandered.
For her you'd always leave
and leave their hearts to bleed.
You hear her calling,
red skies a warning,
your ship has gone ashore.
That siren's lock is
on your door.
Now in your room you'll yearn for all her
white and yellow roses
that you've only seen
in your wildest dreams.
Your suffering can't pay for all the
gifts she'll never offer.
You'd think she'd never heard
three magic little words.
