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
