Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It took a second to register up in my brainium
My dome, my head, my skull, my cranium
My eyes have had enough, it was time to do some talking
I had to creep through the hound dogs that were stalking
[Verse 2]
This slimmy caught me peeping, this means she wasn't sleeping
On who I was, so she crept in like a hawk
In a minute's time, we adjourned to the floor
Oh, I hit a high note 'cause of the way that she was walking
[Verse 3]
We got into the groove, I didn't bust no, uh, hip-hop moves
I just kept it nice and smooth
Next thing you know, we got together, word, I thought we'd be forever
Didn't have an umbrella, now I'm soaked in stormy weather
[Verse 4]
Whether two birds of a feather fly or fall it'll be together
Never sipping, and leave your love like limp
There's be no suicide attempts for this slim, trim kid
'Cause you know there's otha fish in the sea, that is, in the sea
[Verse 5]
In the sea
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea
[Verse 6]
I reminisce, try to clear up all the myths
For an imaginary kiss with you again
Not even friends, though I wish that I could mend
Like a tailor and be Olive Oyl's number one sailor
[Verse 7]
I ams what I am, still I falls like an anvil
She's heavy on my mind, sometimes it's more than I can handle
But men aren't supposed to tumble into the den, B
Macho but a honcho like Pancho will give in
[Verse 8]
Family oriented, but not Oriental
A dame is supposed to claim ya even if you drive a Pinto
A hero is a sandwich and a manwich is a meal
A marriage is a paper, are they faking or for real?
[Verse 9]
What's the deal, dabbers? Will you go tumbling after
Your man and take a stand or will you help  him roll faster?
The reason why I ask you is because I'm sick of this
**** licking drip-drip from a **** benefits
[Verse 10]
He doesn't even suit ya and he's surely not ya size
I'm surprised that you slept on a heart that's worldwide
And when ya open up ya eyes, babe, my mate, I really wish
That ya don't bruise a limb as ya swim with otha fish in the sea
[Verse 11]
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
The sea that is, the sea that is
[Verse 12]
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea
[Verse 13]
Well if there ain't no mountain high enough
Why ain't you climbing up?
My hand has been extended ever since the day I lent it to ya
I thought I knew ya, but I didn't even know ya
Bro, you're stupid 'cause ya thought you'd captured Cupid
[Verse 14]
And you found that love ain't two bits of ****, so I resign and quit
It ain't even about the hips or the lips or the **** or
Even the **** whip, Elizabeth, this is it
Because I slipped and I tripped into a shoes that didn't fit
[Verse 15]
And now the next man is stealing my heart away
I'd charge him like a bull, but his pull never fades me
The kid is going crazy, he's stepping with my lady
Their working on a baby, I'm pushing on up daisies, but
[Verse 16]
Hey diddle-diddle, I won't play second fiddle
To no man and stand firm on this
And seal up all the bliss with a big juicy kiss
Just call me Big Jibar, miss
No, I won't diss, I'm just like all the otha fish in the sea
[Verse 17]
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
The sea that is
[Verse 18]
The sea that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
The sea that is
[Verse 19]
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
The sea that is
[Verse 20]
The sea that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
The sea that is
[Verse 21]
The sea that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
In the sea
