No Mermaid Lyrics
We went down to the edge of the water
You were afraid to go in
You said, “There might be sharks out there in the oceanâ€
And I said, “I'm only going for a swimâ€
I was swimming around in a circle
I wasn't always in view
You said, “We might get into red flag danger
And I am alone when I'm not with youâ€
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
And I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves
We were swinging from the center of the ceiling
You were afraid to give in
I said, “I know I'll always live for this feelingâ€
You closed your eyes, you said, “Never againâ€
We were dancing in the middle of the desert
You said, “We'll burn under the hot sunâ€
I said ,“I'd rather be the color of pleasure
Than watch like you from under the coverâ€
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves
We went down to the edge of the water
You were afraid to go in
You said,â€There might be sharks out there in the oceanâ€
And I said, “I'm only going for a swimâ€

I was swimming around in a circle
I wasn't always in view
You said, “We might get into red flag danger
And I am alone when I'm not with youâ€
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves
