he used to be my friend, then he stopped talking to me
clever way to bait the line, plenty women in the sea
throw a girl out and reel her back
mermaids are the boy's favorite snack
he said he was my friend, and no one tried to warn me
i believed in him, never doubted his sincerity
reel a girl in and turn your back
mermaids are the boy's bedtime snack
he used to be my friend, then he took a bite out of me
now i shrug and disappear, supposed to go quietly
pull a girl in and throw her back
mermaids are the boy's midnight snack
