about

Inspired by Disney's The Little Mermaid... she just has a little more sass in her now that she's been through a few things, like going "Speechless" (please check out my album Speechless, as well!).

lyrics

Verse 1:
I don’t need someone to make me smile
Yet I smile wider when I think of you
Oh, I don’t need someone to pick me up
Yet I feel light as a human when I’m with you

Chorus 1:
It’s ‘cause of what you do
For yourself, others, or for me
And how you be you
How you be you
How you be you

Verse 2:
I don't mind watching this cheesy film
But it meant so much more when I did with you
Oh, I did not mind traveling so far away
But didn’t you say you’ll be on your way here real soon?

Chorus 2:
Like Tuesday Afternoon,
Deeply think of me
And how I am me
How I am me
How I am me

Bridge:
I thought we were a great fit
But I know I deserve better than this
Maybe your vanilla sky
Is busy foolin my eyes
If you want something from me
Don’t treat me like I’m easy
No I won’t give in
No I won’t give in
So I will give up
But I don’t want to give up
On you
So don’t give up on me
Talk to me! Ahhhhh, ah ah ahhh ah ah ah ahhh ahhhhhhhhhhh ah ah ah ah

Verse 3:
Angel, you tried to guide me with random song ideas
But I hadn’t heard a single word you had not thought through
Prince, in your castle you made me part of your world
Yet I feel like I’m talking underwater when I call you

Verse 4:
Oh, I’m a Taylor Swift swiftly writing this song
‘Cause I still care about the moonlight in Vermont you wanted to come with to
And, you’re the Tom Cruise who is cruising along
To that Cee Lo song Forget You

Chorus 3:
You’re moving to another nation
'Cause you don't care about how
Anyone is anyone anyway
Except for the missing part of
How you be you
How you be you
How do you be you?
At least you said goodbye
So goodbye,
Prince Eric
‘Cause this mermaid ain’t swimming the seven seas to see you
