Once upon a time, I was a mermaid Once upon a time, you were a pirate And we both loved the sea I stared at the sun through my ocean shield You carried a gun and you sailed right over me And we both loved the sea
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
These currents tie us together These currents keep us apart This ocean knows our hearts These currents tie us together These currents keep us apart This ocean knows our hearts Woah, woah
Once upon a time, you caught a mermaid Tangled in your line, she could not get free And you fell in love with me I said, “In the ocean I’ll always be Under the surface you could not breathe” Master of the sea
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
These currents tie us together These currents keep us apart This ocean knows our hearts These currents tie us together These currents keep us apart This ocean knows our hearts
