I was once a sailor back in 1982
Sailed around the world inside a fiberglass canoe
Searching for the antidote that my poor heart could use
I was only seven, but it's what I had to do

And everybody says
"You can't be serious, you can't be serious, no
You can't be serious, you can't be serious, oh"

I set out to find my girl, and, my girl, I found you
I would do it all again just to tie your shoe
Serious, I'm serious, oh, every word is true
I would do it all again just to tie her shoe

And everybody says
"You can't be serious, you can't be serious, no
You can't be serious, you can't be serious, oh"

And everybody says
"You can't be serious, you can't be serious, no
You can't be serious, you can't be serious, oh"

And everybody says
"You can't be serious, you can't be serious, no
You can't be serious, you can't be serious, oh"
