Son of a Gun is the third track off “Go”. The band describes it as a fun, slow, and quirky song about a guy who “doesn’t really get it” and who constantly pokes fun at his girlfriend despite her inherent lack of amusement.
Have you had enough?
Are you tough? Are you broken?
Hit me where it hurts
Don't just curtsy and sulk
I know I deserve every elegant word
That you're hurling at me
When I listen to your voice
Squawking noise, I am thinking
How to counter back
With some nonsense and stink
I see little raindrops of love forming under your eyelids
As I push you too far
[Hook]
I know I'm a son of a gun
Pissing you off just for fun
You're overdramatic, I'm aerodynamic
It's oh, so romantic
That's why I'm a son of a gun
When we started out
There was doubt, there was caution
But I wore you down
With my slapstick and passion
Tricks of the trade
I'm a lovable knave
I'm a handful, it's true
All the itty bitty quirks
Used to work in my favor
Now they tend to rot
And affect your behavior
I'm still the same freakonomical pain
But I love ya and that will never change
[Hook]
Ooh, yeah, turn it up
You're overdramatic, I'm aerodynamic
It's oh, so romantic
Our heart's filled with panic
If you're the Titanic
I'll swim the Atlantic
Addictions I can't kick
To movies you don't pick
I hate those romance flicks
That's why I'm a son of a gun
