She curses like a sailor   But she comes right out   And says what you're afraid to hear      Yet everyone who meets her   Ends up thanking her   For being so sincere      And all she needs is a little bit of music   And all she wants is a world with some empathy      She's drinking too much coffee   And her mind is always on   In overdrive      Smarter than you'll ever be   Still she wears her good time label   As a source of pride      And all she needs is a little bit of music   All she wants is a world with some empathy      Sailor   Sailor   If it's fast enough   She might dance along   Sailor   Sailor   Will always be my favorite song      Men want to trade all dignity   For anything from her mouth   But she's not the type   To take a deal like that   And they'll never figure her out      'Cause all she needs is a little bit of music   And all she wants is a world with some empathy      She curses like a sailor   With every word   Salvation in my ear      And how can I repay   When from her young life   She's given me ten years      And all she needs is a little bit of music   And all she wants is a world with some empathy   Yeah all she needs is a lot of loud music   And somehow she wanted a boy who looks like me      Sailor   Sailor   If it's fast enough   She might dance along   Sailor   Sailor   Will always be my favorite song   Sailor   Sailor   Never once worried whether   She belonged   Sailor   Sailor   Will always be my favorite song
