Chorus:
A
The children of the ocean
G D
Got their positive emotion
A G D
Take me to the place I wanna go
A
Life ain't always easy
G D
But the simple things do please me
A G D
Like the way the water always seems to flow
Could it be?
There's a pretty little lady in the sea
You can call me crazy but she's calling me
So I guess I'll have to paddle out to play
I say
Chorus:
The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I want to go
Life isn't always easy
But the simple things do please me
Like the way the water always seems to flow
Go and tell me your name
Parlez-vous Francais?
The way you move with the waves
The tide is pulling away
Got a million different things running through
my brain
All your mermaid games got me going insane - x2
