Ship of Love (1965) Songtext
von George Jones

Every time I turn around, you turn up and turn me down
For you′ve got me buffaloed into your ways of thinkin'
Seems like all you want to do is hurt me
Love me a while and then desert me
But, you better drop anchor, my ship of love is sinkin′

Every time I'm in beside you
The tide of life knot drags you on
And my little boat of love keeps you in sight for a while
But, then you're gone
My love starts burning
When I think you′re turning around, to see sick ole me
But, you set sails on another trail
And I′m a-drowin' in a teardrop sea


Every time I turn around, you turn up and turn me down
For you′ve got me buffaloed into your ways of thinkin'
It seems like all you want to do is hurt me
Love me a while and then desert me
But, you better drop anchor my ship of love is sinkin′

Well, I thought I had a chance of being rescued
Because the word got around to me
That your new captain had strayed off course
And your ship had sprung a leak
But, the crew that hangs around you
Fixed it in no time at all
As I cried for help, I wasted my breath
For you didn't even hear me call

Every time I turn around, you turn up and turn me down
For you′ve got me buffaloed into your ways of thinkin'
It seems like all you want to do is hurt me
Love me a while and then desert me
But, you better drop anchor, my ship of love is sinkin'

You better drop anchor, my ship of love is sinkin′
