I've said it before and I'll say it again
Dooh ahh ooh
If you want to be my friend...
You better take me to the seashore
You've gotta join me, under the water
Til I can't hear my thoughts no more
But when you start to run out of air
Just try and hold your breath a little longer if you dare
Cuz the water holds secrets
Little whispers in the undertow
And there are colors the eyes can only behold
When they open to the great below
But when you start to run out of air
When you cannot find your mind anywhere
You are a body, and the body is the temple of the soul
And then you'll find that you can fly
Well once I met a sweet girl and she showed me the reef
And we dove on down together to the bottom of the sea
And as she pointed out the colors that were swimming round our feet
She smiled at me and I could not believe that it wasn't a dream
And I thought, what a sweet, sweet way to make a friend
Well then once I was a child, I mean it used to be more obvious
And my neighbor's older sister would sometimes come play with us
And it was summer and she was cool and we played mermaids in her pool
And I fell in love with the way that our hair flowed
Well I don't know much and I can't speak for all of women
But nothing really does it for me like the joy of swimming
(Sweet sweet sweet sweet)
