No Mermaid

We went down to the edge of the water

You were afraid to go in

You said, ââ‚¬½There might be sharks out there in the oceanââ‚¬

And I said, ââ‚¬½I'm only going for a swimââ‚¬

I was swimming around in a circle

I wasn't always in view

You said, ââ‚¬½We might get into red flag danger

And I am alone when I'm not with youââ‚¬

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

And I am no fisherman's slave

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I keep my head above the waves

We were swinging from the center of the ceiling

You were afraid to give in

I said, ââ‚¬½I know I'll always live for this feelingââ‚¬

You closed your eyes, you said, ââ‚¬½Never againââ‚¬

We were dancing in the middle of the desert

You said, ââ‚¬½We'll burn under the hot sunââ‚¬

I said ,ââ‚¬½I'd rather be the color of pleasure

Than watch like you from under the coverââ‚¬

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I am no fisherman's slave

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I keep my head above the waves

We went down to the edge of the water

You were afraid to go in

You said,ââ‚¬There might be sharks out there in the oceanââ‚¬

And I said, ââ‚¬½I'm only going for a swimââ‚¬

I was swimming around in a circle

I wasn't always in view

You said, ââ‚¬½We might get into red flag danger

And I am alone when I'm not with youââ‚¬

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I am no fisherman's slave

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I keep my head above the waves

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I am no fisherman's slave

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I keep my head above the waves
