(Tatsuro Yamashita) — Mermaid

Long ago But it seems like yesterday It happened the strangest way My first love affair Summer day I'm swimming alone in the ocean When suddenly I got a notion That someone was watching And I turned to see who was there... I saw this Beautiful lady, beautiful lady Only a heartbeat away from me Two seashell earrings were all that she wore She was smiling and saying to me Come away I'll show you my home in the ocean And stranger, if you get a notion That you'd like to love me Well, just do what you feel, do what you feel Mermaid, mermaid I want you but I'm afraid Part fish, part girl I don't fit your world Mermaid, mermaid I want you but I'm afraid Part fish, part girl Oohh She put her Sweet arms around me, sweet arms around me Ever so gently, she put me down Next thing I knew was the soft ocean floor And the first taste of love that I found Let me stay I'll live in your home in the ocean I'll give you my love and devotion But suddenly she told me You must go back and find A girl of your kind So I left her behind Now the ocean reminds me of Mermaid, mermaid It's true love that we made Part fish, part girl I still miss your world Mermaid, mermaid It's true love that we made Part fish, part girl I still miss your world Mermaid, mermaid It's true love that we made Part fish, part girl I still miss your world Mermaid, mermaid It's true love that we made Part fish, part girl I still miss your world (Fade-out)
