Long ago
But it seems like yesterday
It happened the strangest way
My first love affair

Summer day
I swimming alone in the ocean
When suddenly I get 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 my way
I'll show you my home in the ocean
And stranger if you get a notion
That you like to love me
Well, just do what you feel
Do what you feel

Oh Mermaid.. Mermaid
I want you but I'm afraid
Part fish... part girl
I don't fit your world

Oh Mermaid.. Mermaid
I want you but I'm afraid
Part fish... part girl
Ooo.....

She put her sweet arms around me, sweet arms around me
Never 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
And the ocean reminds me

Mermaid.. Mermaid
Its true love that we made
Part fish... part girl
I still miss your world
