Mermaid

Can't swim so I took a boat
To an island so remote,
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before.
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 met 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
'Til I got her
Had I known it could come true,
I would have wished in '92 for a mermaid
Just like you,
Just like you.

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.
'Til I got her
Had I known it could come true
I would have wished in '92 for a mermaid
Just like you,
Just like you.

Rescued you by the banyan tree.
All the girlfish 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 boyfish 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.
'Til I got her,
Had I known it could come true.
I would have wished in '92 for a mermaid
just like you,
Just like you...

Just like you...
