I'm admitting I was drifting When I came into your harbor But I feel my spirits lifting Like a wind just off to starboard bow Now I know I swore that I would love no more But you hauled in, you called my bluff You took the wind out of my sails It must be luff Oh luff, L-U-F-F Oh luff, It must be luff I've been down, I've been around I drink the whiskey, don't drink no water And this ain't my first seaport town No, I'm a salty seaman's daughter But you rock my boat til it will hardly float And when you talk that soft romantic stuff You take the wind out of my sails It must be luff So fly that Jolly Roger high Don't lie, you are a pirate Shanghai'd my heart, stole my soul Don't try to deny it How I cried when you took my pride And when that just weren't enough You took the wind out of my sails It must be luff
