Hooks (Live)

I was a forlorn fishy swimmin' in the sea

Lookin' for a lover or the one who'd be

My consorted companion but now I see

There just ain't enough fishies swimmin' in the sea

A glimmer in my eye just as I tried to flee

I'm cryin' out for mercy in a final plea

You're reeling me in

I never ever want to be free

Don't take your hooks out of me

Don't toss me back in the sea

Don't take your hooks out of me

'Cause I don't want to be free

Don't take your hooks out of me

You were a shoreline strutting strolling in the sun

Far from all the fishies but at least there's one

Who can bait you with an earworm and a clever pun

Now we're singing it together in the summer sun

The music melts your mind just as you try to flee

you're cryin' out for mercy in a final plea

I'm reeling you in

you'll never ever want to be free

Can't take the hooks out of me

Can't throw me back in the sea

Can't take the hooks out of me

'Cause you don't want to be free

Can't take the hooks out of me

Can't take the hooks out of me

Can't throw me back in the sea

Can't take the hooks out of me

'Cause you don't want to be free

Can't take the hooks out of me

I'm just a forlorn fishy swimmin' in the sea

Sometimes a song is simple so you let it be

I'm still lookin' for a lover or someone like me

Who can sing a song forever in the deep blue sea

The music melds our minds just as you try to flee

you're cryin' out for mercy in a final plea

I'm reeling you in

You'll never ever want to be free

Can't take the hooks out of me

Can't throw me back in the sea

Can't take the hooks out of me

'Cause you don't want to be free

Can't take the hooks out of me

Can't throw me back in the sea

Can't take the hooks out of me

'Cause you don't want to be free

Can't take the hooks out of me
