Pirate of Love
Sabrina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew I should be careful
When I looked into his eyes
But I was unaware
Until he took me by surprise
That's when I knew
He was the pirate of love

He took away the treasure
And the riches and the pleasure
He stole a part of me
And he disappeared forever
Then I knew
He was the pirate of love

The pirate of love
Is sailing away
He's leaving me behind
With my broken heart
The pirate of love
Is far away with my love

Sometimes when I'm asleep
Nobody next to me
No kisses or caresses
Or no lover's ecstasy
That's when I need
The pirate of love

I see him in my dreams
Come from the shadows to the light
I hear him calling me
Out of the darkness the night
That's when I hear
The pirate of love

But the pirate of love
Is sailing away
He's leaving me behind
With my broken heart
The pirate of love
Is far away with my love





Repeat last verse and fade.
