Lyrics

Look here, girls
Take this advice, and remember always in life
Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love and lose, you must stand tall
'Cause we all got to cry sometimes
I said, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together
No use crying forever
Because (There's too many fish in the sea)
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
My mother once told me something
And every word is true
"Don't waste your time on a fella
Who doesn't love you
He'll only mislead you
Only grieve you
Don't worry about him
Do without him"
Because (There's too many fish in the sea) Uh huh
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)
Well, if the fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook and keep on trying
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around
Because (There's too many fish in the sea) Uh-huh
(Too many fish in the sea)
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)
I don't want nobody that don't want me
'Cause (There's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me, now
'Cause (There's too many fish in the sea)
I don't need nobody that don't need me
'Cause (There's too many fish in the sea)
I don't want nobody that don't want me, now
'Cause (There's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me
'Cause (There's too many fish in the sea)
I don't need nobody that don't need me
