No Mermaid

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

You said, “We might get into red flag danger
And I said, “I'm only going for a swim”

I am no fisherman's slave
We were dancing in the middle of the desert
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I was swimming around in a circle
I keep my head above the waves
I keep my head above the waves
I wasn't always in view
You said, “We'll burn under the hot sun”

You said, “There might be sharks out there in the ocean”

And I am alone when I'm not with you”
You closed your eyes, you said, “Never again”
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
We went down to the edge of the water
I was swimming around in a circle
You said,”There might be sharks out there in the ocean”
And I am alone when I'm not with you”

I said ,“I'd rather be the color of pleasure
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
And I am no fisherman's slave

I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
Than watch like you from under the cover”
You were afraid to go in
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid

I keep my head above the waves
We were swinging from the center of the ceiling
I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
You were afraid to give in
I wasn't always in view
I said, “I know I'll always live for this feeling”
And I said, “I'm only going for a swim”
You said, “We might get into red flag danger
