Son of a Gun
Son of a Gun: Love's Quirks and Romantic Havoc
Lyrics
Have you had enough?
Questioning if the listener has had enough of something
Are you tough?
Asking if the listener is tough
Are you broken?
Questioning if the listener is broken or emotionally hurt
Hit me where it hurts
Asking to confront with a significant impact or criticism
Don't just curtsy and sulk
Advising not to just show politeness and sulking
I know I deserve every elegant word that you're hurling at me
Acknowledging deserving the criticism and insults
When I listen to your voice
Reflecting on the irritating nature of the voice being listened to
Squawking noise
Describing the voice as a squawking noise
I am thinking how to count on back
Thinking about how to recover or reconcile
With some knots and some stink, I'll seal it
Suggesting using unconventional methods to fix the situation
Two raindrops of love forming under your eyelids
Describing tears as love forming under the eyelids
As I push you too far
Pushing someone too far, potentially causing emotional pain
I know I'm a son of a gun
Acknowledging being troublesome or challenging
Pissing you off just for fun
Admitting to intentionally annoying or upsetting someone for enjoyment
You're over dramatic, I'm aerodynamic
Describing the listener as overly dramatic and oneself as aerodynamic
It's oh so romantic
Emphasizing the romantic aspect despite the challenges
That's why I'm a son of a gun
Reiterating being troublesome due to one's nature
When we started out, there was doubt
Recalling initial doubts and caution in the relationship
There was caution
Describing caution at the beginning of the relationship
But I wore you down with my slapstick and passion
Asserting that persistence and passion won over doubts
Tricks of the trade, I'm a lovable knave
Claiming to be a lovable trickster or scoundrel
I'm a handful, it's true
Admitting to being a handful or difficult to handle
All the itty bitty quirks used to work in my favor
Highlighting that quirks were once endearing but now have negative effects
Now they tend to rot and affect your behavior
Quirks causing problems in behavior
I'm still the same freak, and I may cause pain
Asserting that despite causing pain, the core personality remains unchanged
But I love you, and that will never change
Expressing love despite flaws and challenges
I know I'm a son of a gun
Reiterating being troublesome or challenging
Pissing you off just for fun
Admitting to intentionally annoying or upsetting someone for enjoyment
You're over dramatic, I'm aerodynamic
Describing the listener as overly dramatic and oneself as aerodynamic
It's oh so romantic
Emphasizing the romantic aspect despite the challenges
That's why I'm a son of a gun
Reiterating being troublesome due to one's nature
Yeah, turn it up
Encouraging to increase the volume or intensity
You're over dramatic, I'm aerodynamic
Describing the listener as overly dramatic and oneself as aerodynamic
It's oh so romantic
Emphasizing the romantic aspect despite the challenges
Your heart's filled with panic
Noting panic in the listener's heart
If you're the Titanic, I'll swim the Atlantic
Expressing readiness to face significant challenges for the listener
Addictions I can kick
Claiming the ability to overcome personal addictions
To movies you don't think I hate
Asserting tolerance for movies despite potential dislike
Those romance flicks
Referencing a willingness to endure romantic movies
That's why I'm a son of a gun
Reiterating being troublesome or challenging
