Son of a Gun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have you had enough, are you tough, are you broken?
Hit me where it hurts, don't just curtsey and sulk
I know I deserve every elegant word you're hurling at me
When I listen to your voice, squawking noise, I am thinking
How to counter back with some nonsense and sting
I see little rain drops of love forming under your eyelids as I push you too far
I know I'm a son of a gun
Pissing you off just for fun
You're overdramatic, I'm aerodynamic
It's all so romantic
That's why I'm a son of a gun
When we started out, there was doubt, there was caution
But I wore you down with my slapstick and passion
Tricks of the trade, I'm a lovable knave
I'm a handful, it's true
All the itty bitty quirks used to work in my favor
Now they tend to rot, tend to affect your behavior
I'm still the same freakinomical pain
But I love ya, and that will never change
I know I'm a son of a gun
Pissing you off just for fun
You're overdramatic, I'm aerodynamic
It's all so romantic
That's why I'm a son of a gun
You're overdramatic, I'm aerodynamic
It's all so romantic
Our hearts filled with panic
If you're the titanic, I'll swim the Atlantic
Incantations I can't kick
To movies you don't think I hate, those romance flicks
That's why I'm the son of a gun
