[Verse 1]
I know it’s best to move on now
but I can’t let you go.
My friends tell me the sea’s too big
to hang around and wait.
They introduce me to their friends
and send me on blind dates
as if another one would help
my heart to get past you.
[Chorus]
What they forget is what I want,
not all the fish they see.
They say I clam up far too much
to venture past my shell.
They all mean well but fail to see
that you pulled me so hard
I couldn’t leave you, though I should,
‘cause I am hooked on you.
[Verse 2]
They throw their nets into the deep
and tell ‘em I’m a catch.
They try to reel them in for me
as if I couldn’t fish.
But I’m not out to reel one in
‘cause you caught me but good.
And they can’t see why I compare
the ones they lure with you.
[Chorus]
What they forget is what I want,
not all the fish they see.
They say I clam up far too much
to venture past my shell.
They all mean well but fail to see
that you pulled me so hard
I couldn’t leave you, though I should,
‘cause I am hooked on you.
[Outro]
That’s right my pearl, my heart is hooked.
My heart is hooked on you.
