Love Tattoo Lyrics - Love Tattoo - Imelda May

When my lover boy comes rollin' in 

Bottle of rum in his hand thanks to Sailor Jim yeah 

Sleeves rolled up and he's wringin' wet 

The boy is all man covered in blood and sweat 

[Chorus] 

An arrow through your heart sayin' "I love you" 

A name on your arm sayin' you'll always be true 

Declaration of love in red white and blue 

You got a love tattoo, you got a love tattoo 

Well he's mean and rude when he wakes and starts 

Yeah one of his moods could just break my heart 

But it pounds and it thumps when he grabs me tight 

I love my rough lover every inch every night 

[Chorus] 

This hunk of a boy 

Talks soft to me 

Behind closed doors he can be so awfully sweet 

When he lays by my side 

He's my very own real wild child 

With his heart of stone sittin' all alone 

Between the anchor and the bride 

[Chorus] 

This hunk of a boy 

Talks soft to me 

Behind closed doors he can be so awfully sweet 

When he lays by my side 

He's my very own real wild child 

With his heart of stone sittin' all alone 

Between the anchor and the bride 

[Chorus: x2]
