No Mermaid

Sinead Lohan


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 ocean 
And I said I'm only going for a swim

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 you 

But 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 feeling 
And you closed your eyes you said never again 

I was dancing in the middle of the desert 
You said we'll burn under the hot sun 
I said I'd rather be the color of pleasure 
Than watch like you from under the thumb 

And 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 went down to the edge of the water 
You were afraid to go in 
You said there might be sharks out there in the ocean 
And I said I'm only going for a swim 

I was living 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 you 

But 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

And I am no mermaid
I am no mermaid
And I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid
I am no mermaid
