​three knots Lyrics

[Intro]
Be the coolest trigga I know how to be
Don't fudge up
Alright

[Chorus]
Rubbin' sunblock on my toes
Excuse my tropical tone right now, ooh
We're going to the beach for me, not you
We could have left but I'm tying my shoes
And I require three knots

[Post-Chorus]
You could never be too safe, I'm saying
I've got these chills looking for the row
Just give it time

[Verse 1]
Look, mom, stop, that's enough
Alright maybe nine more, poor girl she doesn't know it though
But she's pretty much a star now
Hey look, the stars are out, tight
Huh, quite cool, I do know a little bit of trivia
Capital of Bolivia
Capital port of Ithaca
Checking these interwebs nauseously
Stroking my chin quite cautiously
An expert in skin-tight apologies
What else don't I know
[Chorus]
Rubbin' sunblock on my toes
Excuse my tropical tone right now
We're going to the beach for me, not you
We could have left but I'm tying my shoes and I require three knots

[Post-Chorus]
You could never be too safe, I'm saying
I've got these chills, look i'm no Thoreau
Just give it time

[Verse 2]
I really thought this wasn't gonna be cool, but I was wrong
Of course, my voice is hoarse
I've been squawkin a lot, you talk city cool
Man I'm like barn boy polite, farm boy for life
Yarn boy survived, knife in the backseat
Grab bag, feelin' like I'm Jake Gyllenhall
Swear to God, palutena with your English

[Chorus]
Rubbin' sunblock on my toes
Excuse my tropical tone right now
We could have left but I'm tying my shoes and I require three knots

[Post-Chorus]
You could never be too safe, I'm saying
I've got these chills looking for the row
Just give it time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
