Well, I'm admitting I was drifting
When I came into your harbor
But I feel my spirits lifting
Like a wind just off the starboard bow

Now, I know I swore I would love no more
But you hauled in and called my bluff, oh yeah
Take the wind out of my sails
It must be luff, it must be luff

Oh luff, L U F F, luff
Oh luff, it must be luff

I've been down, I've been around
I drink the whiskey, don't drink no water
And this ain't my first seaport town
Oh, I am a salty seaman's daughter

But you rock my boat 'til it will hardly float
And when you talk that soft romantic stuff
Oh, you take the wind out of my sails
It must be luff, it must be luff

Oh luff, it must be luff
Oh luff, must be luff man, must be luff

So fly that Jolly Roger high
Don't lie, you are a pirate
Shanghaied my heart, stole my soul
Don't you try to deny it

Oh, how I cried when you took my pride
And when that just weren't enough, oh no
You took the wind out of my sails
It must be luff, it must be luff

Oh luff, it must be luff
Oh luff, it must be luff
Oh luff, it must be luff, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh luff, it must be luff, yeah yeah
