They threw caution to the wind
He though, she must be blind not to see
He was no prince charming, no beauty

She held flowers at her fingertips
And honey fell from her lips
He dived into the oceans wild
As she swam with the morning mist

He said, if it's mine it will be always yours
Cast away any doubt and open up those doors

It was the shark and the mermaid
Making love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Falling in love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Proving everybody wrong
It was the shark and the mermaid
Swimming by again

But as they grow in mind and body
And the days turned into years
He thought one day she might go away
But her love overshadowed his fears

Under the liquid sky
Where they lived they were legends to behold
Fate distracted by their simple charms
Left them there to love alone

Now the angels wait patiently
For the shadows down below, they stop and smile because

It's just the shark and the mermaid
Making love again
It's just the shark and the mermaid
Falling in love again
It's just the shark and the mermaid
Proving everybody wrong
It's just the shark and the mermaid
And the mermaid, and the mermaid

Nobody thought that the love will last
Everybody looked and everybody laughed
But the mermaid and the shark they just slipped away
Nothing stopped them, no one got in their way

Standing together as lovers and friends
They stayed together, their love knew no end
Proving everyone wrong
They grew together, they were strong
Everybody was wrong

About the, about the
Shark and the mermaid
Making love again
The shark and the mermaid
Falling in love again
The shark and the mermaid
Together till the end
It was the shark and the mermaid
And the mermaid, and the mermaid makin' love
It was the shark and the mermaid
Makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love
