Pretty for a black girl

Singing like the caged bird

Everybody asking when the body's gonna swing-sway

Everybody asking when the body's gonna swing-sway

Oh love

Oh beauty

Give me a melody

Something light

Something melancholy

My first kiss was stolen from me

Taken by the sea and his lovers

The waves came in

Took me for a spin

Then it was all over

Don't go chasing your first love

'Cause nothing will come of it

Don't go chasing your first love

'Cause nothing will come of it

If I could fly, I would

I'd go to the moon and stay there

'Cause no one can touch me there

No one can touch me there

Don't go chasing your first love

'Cause nothing will come of it, oh

Don't go chasing your first love

'Cause nothing will come of it

Baby you

Oh you, are more than

He'll ever be

Baby you

Oh you, are more than

The sea, the sea, the sea

Suicide is always on my mind

Won't lose myself this time

I'll find me in the water

Find me in the water

Find me in the water

Find me in the water

Find me in the water

(Find me in the water)

(Find me in the water)

(Find me in the water)

(Find me in the water)

Find me in the water

(Find, find, find, oh, oh, oh)
