This song is about the dangers of falling in love. It's a precognition of what is to come...
lyrics
Girl I think I’m in love with you
No one else could ever do
Girl you drive me crazy
Oh Girl you’d steal a sailor from the sea
You belong to me
And I belong to you
But you’re a butterfly
I pick you up, you die
A flower flying by
I pick you up, you die
Oh oh
Girl I think I’m in love with you
But I will break your heart in two
This will end in tragedy
Oh Girl every time I look at you
I don’t know what to do
‘Cause I don’t wanna hurt you
Oh girl what a great wife you would be
You belong to me
And I belong to you
But you’re a butterfly
I pick you up, you die
A flower flying by
I pick you up, you die
Oh Girl
Oh Girl
Over crashing waves and smashing seas
You’ve been bringing sailors to their knees
Sailed around the world to reach your land
And now I’m afraid to hold your hand
Girl I think I’m in love with you
No one else could ever do
Girl you drive me crazy
Ooh
But you’re a butterfly
I pick you up, you die
A flower flying by
I pick you up, you die
