Oh Come into the water, my darling, my love.
If you follow my voice I’ll be easy to find
I’m lonely down here. Must you stay up above
Where the air is so thin? Leave the others behind
And just jump. They won’t miss you, but I’ll be distraught
If you sail on without me. I know that you’re lonely
I’m lonely as well. Do not give it a thought.
Come and join me down here, I’ll have eyes for you only.
Although you can’t see me, I’m sure you can guess
By my soft, gentle tones, that I’m ever so pretty!
But I can see you, and I have to confess
I’m already in love! So I beg you, take pity!
It is perfectly safe, and you’re not going to drown;
I’ll protect you. I swear, you’ll be happier here
So don’t hesitate now, take the plunge, come on down!
There’s plenty to gain, and there’s nothing to fear.
Oh my love, tell me why you are still hesitating!
You cannot resist me, you know that you’re mine!
And honestly I’m getting tired of waiting.
So get your arse down here. I’m ready to dine.
