| i’m a black mermaid
|
| from the bottom of the sea
|

|
| 'cause i’m a black mermaid
|
| nothing rarer you will find
|
| i am here for you to love me
|
| i’ve been here for all o' time
|
| and i will wait for you to see me and to understand
|
| that a woman can restore the soul of any broken man
|
| if you can look beyond the waves and just believe in me…

|
| 'cause i’m a black mermaid
|
| from the bottom of the sea
|
| i will teach you how to love me into greatness i will lead you
|
| and i’ve spent most of my life deep down inside myself
|
| i’ve dreamt about the possibility of someone else
|
| who could see the things i’ve seen and steal away with me into the darkness we could fade because we know ourselves
|
| and i’m his black mermaid
|
| from the bottom of the sea
|
| i will teach you how to love me into greatness i will lead you

|
| i’ve dreamt about the possibility of someone else
|
| who could see the things i’ve seen and steal away with me into the darkness we could fade because we LOVE ourselves
|
| and i’m his black mermaid
|
| he thinks i’m beautiful
|
