And then they smashed into the rocks,
Just listening to her sound,
A hundred hearts were breaking,
As the ship went down,
Well there's an awful lot of gold,
Just waiting down below,
You got a mighty strong attraction ...

But I ain't looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei to drown my dreams.

I've known stronger men than I,
Who've fallen at your throne,
I prayed their screams were pleasure,
While I bunked alone,
But when my ship is setting sail,
I'm headed for the sun,
I know that you'll be waiting ...

But I ain't looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei to drown my dreams.

Cause I been that foolish sailor,
Taking chances every day,
What don't kill you makes you stronger,
Think I'm finally strong enough to say ...

I ain't looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei to drown my dreams.
Looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei,
Looking for Lorelei to drown my dreams in you.
