lyrics
VERSE1
girl, im gonna cut the line free,
to get the lovin that you need,
swim away with my heart yeah,
and girl, the oceans way too deep,
to get caught up by me,
swim away with my heart, yeah,
cause its my first time,
to lose this battle,
caught up in a fisherman’s castle,
loving,
save the best for last,
PRECHORUS
but the good old times have past,
the lovin didnt last,
and im still praying please,
would she swim back to me
i say,
CHORUS
oooo, yeah yeah,
oooo, yeah yeah,
VERSE2
and look people,
i caught a mermaid,
snagged her by her tail,
she’ll have it her way,
the glitter in her scale,
her light green eyes,
PRECHORUS
but those lips i’ll memorize,
drunk and hipnotized,
drifting out in sea,
would she swim back to me,
i said,
CHORUS
oooo yeah yeah
oooo yeah yeah,
BRIDGE
she came out of the water,
oh,
shes saying that she missed me,
no,
cause ive been waiting months now,
shes trying pull me into the waters of love
but i cannot stay under the water like you,
but you keep on pulling, and i know just what to do,
you better trade them fish scales for a pair of two,
if you wanna end up with a “me and you”,
but she didnt speak a word to me,
she jumped into waters of the deep blue sea,
but when this tune is carried by an ocean breeze,
i know she can hear me,
CHORUS
oooo yeah,yeah
oooo yeah yeah
girl, im gonna cut the line free,
to get the lovin that you need,
swim away with my heart yeah,
and girl, the oceans way too deep,
to get caught up by me,
swim away with my heart, yeah,
cause its my first time,
to lose this battle,
caught up in a fisherman’s castle,
loving,
save the best for last,
