Can’t swim so i took a boat, to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
I stayed there till the air was clear
I was bored and out of tears, then i saw you washed up on the shore
I offered you my coat, thank god this luck can float
Crazy how that shipwreck met my ship was comin' in
We talked till the sun went down
Love on the Pugit sound
My treasure map was on your skin
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, i thought love was out of reach
Till i got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me
Funny thoughts sometimes can’t help but wonder about as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
The weight of this heavenly bay…it went through hell
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till i got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Rescued you bout the banu tree, all the girl fish in the sea
They don’t have a handle on you, they don’t have a scandal on you,
Saving me was B -I-G, all the boyfish in the sea
They all wish that they could be me
Can’t swim so I took a boat, to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter, i thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in ’92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa.
