I could scuttle and plunder without breaking a sweat
But when I think about you, my palms, they get all wet
I can charge into battle without ever knowing fear
But I'm just not good with love, so I want to be clear
I admit when I saw you there I just passed right past by
I puffed up my chest and hoped to grab your eye
I don't mean, like, pull out your eyeball and run away!
I mean, like, get your attention so you would ask me to stay... maybe

Give me a cutlass, a club or a gun
And I'll have no fear 'gainst most anyone
But leave mе alone with a pretty young girl
And my heart starts to pound likе the end of the world!

So I mustered up the courage and me mates they gave me tips
And so I said, "My dear, I long to taste your lips,"
But, you know, I mean, not like in a cannibalistic way
Like I'm gonna eat them or anything. I mean like just a kiss is what I'm trying to say!

Give me a cutlass, a club or a gun
And I'll have no fear 'gainst most anyone
But leave me alone with a pretty young girl
And my heart starts to pound like the end of the world

I know that this is sudden but I'm not a patient man
So I plan to ask your father if he'd let me take your hand
No, I don't mean like hack it off and leave you with a bloody stump
I mean. I'm just talking about marriage now, and it seems like a bit of a jump
Give me a cutlass, a club or a gun
And I'll have no fear 'gainst most anyone
But leave me alone with a pretty young girl
And my heart starts to pound like the end of the world

Now I'm going awfully fast, I know, I don't want us to part
I just want the chance to maybe someday touch your heart
But I mean, like, not like actually like reach inside your chest and poke your heart
I'm just... I'm just saying I love you! Can we just ignore the rest

Give me a cutlass, a glove or a gun
(of this stupid rhyme?)
And I'll have no fear against most anyone
But leave me alone with a pretty young girl
(Come on, just give me a chance.)
And my heart starts to pound like the end of the world
(Hey, where are you going)
Give me a cutlass, a glove or a gun
And I'll have no fear against most anyone
(I didn't mean all the touching part. I-I mean I could, I mean I did, I sorta meant it)
But leave me alone with a pretty young girl
(But I mean no, I just, that I love you,)
And my heart starts to pound like the end of the world
(Over here, closer to me, why are you getting further away?No, just, I just-None ofthe weird, gross stuff, just the nice touchy lovey stuff. I just- AHHH)
