Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They went down to the river

Ooh, on a warm summer night

But the air was thick

With the smell of temptation

Well, he said why don't we lay in the water

Oh, let the water run over me

And she grinned and she said

Now she said, now she said

[Chorus]

Now that's a good idea

She said, she said

Now that's a good idea

She said, she said

Now that's a good idea

She said, she said

Now that's a good idea

She said, she said

[Verse 2]

He held her head

High in his hands

He held her down

Deep in the stream

He saw the bubbles and matted hair

Mixed in with seaweed, she started to scream

Was it something I said?

Was it something I said?

And she said and she said

And she said, she said

[Chorus]

Now that's a good idea

She said, she said

To be alone with you

She said, she said

I've been waiting for years

And I'd rather be dead

That's a good idea

He said, he said

[Verse 3]

He held her down in the river

He held her down in the water

Another river of mud

Wash away those tears

[Chorus]

He said and he said

Now that's a good idea

He said

Now that's a good idea

He said

Now that's a good idea

He said

Now that's a good idea

[Verse 4]

I saw them from the ocean

She didn't seem to mind

Didn't fight it at all

She didn't fight it at all

Some things are best left alone

Sometimes I'm best left alone

And sometimes I see you in the water

At night, at night, at night, at night

[Chorus]

And that's a good idea

She said, she said

I wanna feel you in the water

With your hands on my head

Push you down into the water

She said, she said

Now that's a good idea

She said, she said

Now that's a good idea

That's a good idea

She said, she said

Now she said, now she said

That's a good idea

That's a good idea

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said, she said

I want to feel you in the water

With your hands on my head

Push you down into the water

She said, she said

[Chorus]

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said

[Outro]

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea

She said, she said

That's a good idea
