[Verse 1]
I saw her in the rightest way
Lookin' like Anne Hathaway
Laughin' while she hit her pen and coughed, and coughed
And then she came up to my knees
Beggin', "Baby, would you please
Do the things you said you'd do to me, to me?"
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
And when you get a taste, can you tell me, what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in His favor
And when we're gettin' dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long
[Verse 2]
She took my fingers to her mouth
The kind of thing that makes you proud
That nothin' else had ever worked out, worked out
And maybe I tried other things
But nothing can capture the sting
Of the venom she is gonna spit out right now
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
And when you get a taste, can you tell me, what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
I know that you've been worried, but you're drippin' in my favor
And when we're gettin' dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long

[Outro]
And we can run away to the walls inside your house
I can be the cat, baby, you can be the mouse
And we can laugh off things that we know nothin' about
We can go forever or until you wanna sit it out
I saw her in the rightest way
Lookin' like Anne Hathaway
Laughin' while she hit her pen and coughed, and coughed
And then she came up to my knees
Beggin', "Baby, would you please
Do the things you said you'd do to me, to me?"
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
And when you get a taste, can you tell me, what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in His favor
And when we're gettin' dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long
[Verse 2]
She took my fingers to her mouth
The kind of thing that makes you proud
That nothin' else had ever worked out, worked out
And maybe I tried other things
But nothing can capture the sting
Of the venom she is gonna spit out right now

Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?

And when we're gettin' dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long

Meaning & Explanation
The song is a highly stylized and somewhat surreal love letter with themes of obsession, vulnerability, and a desire for intense connection. It portrays a relationship built on immediate physical attraction, bordering on frantic longing and potentially unhealthy dependency. The lyrics utilize vivid imagery – Anne Hathaway comparison, 'sailor' metaphor, venomous kiss – to express both the intoxicating allure and potential danger of this infatuation. The narrator’s self-awareness about his mother's concerns and a rejection of traditional belief systems ('I don't believe in God') adds another layer of complexity.
