The Baddest Fish (Kevin Johnston 2005)

I’ve never been a people person, I must admit I’m shy,

But my cold heart skips a beat every night when you swim by

I try to fight this attraction but girl we both know

That if you let me hold you honey, I never let you go.

But if I move on in just a little closer

You might be a bit surprised

That despite my nasty reputation

I’m just a victim of my design

Don’t go in the water girl if you don’t know how to swim

There are creatures out there that’ll swallow you whole

As soon as jump right in

Its best to side with caution, if you must get wet

When you go you never go it alone,

cause I’m the baddest fish you’ve met

I know you think I’m crazy or that I’ve lost my mind

But I agree if you give it a chance, you’ll agree that love is blind

Well I know I’ve got my baggage, and I know these stakes are high

There’s issue left to tackle and more to swallow then just my pride

But if I move on in just a little closer

You might be a bit surprised

That despite my nasty reputation

I’m just a victim of my design

Don’t go in the water girl if you don’t know how to swim

There are creatures out there that’ll swallow you whole

As soon as jump right in

Its best to side with caution, if you must get wet

When you go you never go it alone,

cause I’m the baddest fish you’ve met

My mamma always told me, don’t give my heart away

There’s plenty of fish out in the sea, and I’d find mine one day

But my momma never saw you, but if momma could see me now

She’d understand what I see in you and that would make her proud.

But if I move on in just a little closer

You might be a bit surprised

That despite my nasty reputation

I’m just a victim of my design

Don’t go in the water girl if you don’t know how to swim

There are creatures out there that’ll swallow you whole

As soon as jump right in

Its best to side with caution, if you must get wet

When you go you never go it alone,

cause I’m the baddest fish you’ve met
