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 water
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
(Chorus): 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 centre of the ceiling
You were afraid to give in
I said I know I'll always live for this feeling
You closed your eyes, you said never again
