Mermaid

Can't swim, so I took a boat to an island so remote

Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before

I stayed there till the air was clear

I was bored and out of tears, then I saw you washed up on the shore

I offered you my coat, thank goddess love can float

Crazy how that shipwreck meant my ship was comin' in

We talked till the sun went down

Love on the Puget Sound

My treasure map was on your skin

Beauty in the water, angel on the beach

Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach

Till I got her, had I known it could come true

I would have wished in '92 for a mermaid just like you (Whoa)

Just like you (Whoa)

Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me

Funny, but sometimes can’t help but wonder that as well

Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid

The way to this heavenly bay, it went through Hell

Beauty in the water, angel on the beach

Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach

Till I got her, had I known it could come true

I would have wished in '92 for a mermaid just like you (Whoa)

Just like you (Whoa)

Rescued you by the Banyan tree, all the girl fish in the sea

Couldn't hold a candle to you, they don't have a handle on you

They don't have a scandal on you, I love Ecco sandals on you

Saving me was B-I-G, all the boy fish in the sea

They all wish that they could be me

Can't swim, so I took a boat to an island so remote

Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before

Beauty in the water, angel on the beach

Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach

Till I got her, had I known it could come true

I would have wished in '92 for a mermaid just like you (Whoa)

Just like you (Whoa)

Just like you (Whoa)

(Rescued you by the Banyan tree, all the girl fish in the sea)

Just like you (Whoa)
