When my lover boy comes a-rolling in
Bottle of rum in his hand thanks to Sailor Jim, yeah
Sleeves rolled up and he's wringing wet
The boy is all man covered in blood and sweat

An arrow through your heart saying 'I love you'
A name on your arm saying 'You'll always be true', yeah
Declaration of love in red, white and blue
You got a love tattoo, you got a love tattoo

Well, he's mean and rude when he wakes and starts
Yeah, one of his moods could just break my heart
But it pounds and it thumps when he grabs me tight
I love my rough lover every inch every night

An arrow through your heart saying 'I love you'
A name on your arm saying 'You'll always be true', yeah
Declaration of love in red, white and blue
You got a love tattoo, you got a love tattoo

This hunk of a boy talks soft to me
Behind closed doors he can be so awfully sweet
When he lays by my side
He's my very own real wild child
With his heart of stone sitting all alone
Between the anchor and the bride

An arrow through your heart saying 'I love you'
A name on your arm saying 'You'll always be true', yeah
Declaration of love in red, white and blue
You got a love tattoo, you got a love tattoo, yeah

This hunk of a boy talks soft to me
Behind closed doors he can be so awfully sweet
When he lays by my side
He's my very own real wild child
With his heart of stone sitting all alone
Between the anchor and the bride

An arrow through your heart saying 'I love you'
A name on your arm saying 'You'll always be true', yeah
Declaration of love in red, white and blue
You got a love tattoo, you got a love tattoo

An arrow through your heart saying 'I love you'
A name on your arm saying 'You'll always be true', yeah
Declaration of love in red, white and blue
You got a love tattoo, you got a love tattoo, yeah

Oh yeah, you got a love tattoo, you got a love tattoo...
