If you're the bird Whenever we pretend it's summer Then I'm the worm I know the part, it's such a bummer But fair is fair If my segments get separated I'll scream And you'll be there Close your eyes (close my eyes) Slide the cotton off of your shoulder And feel the shine (feel the shine) I'm hooked so toss me over And cast the line (well, I'll try) I'll throw a party and greet my undersea friends (it depends) As they arrive (if they arrive) You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind) But I still have just one more question on my mind For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas With friends like these, well Who needs enemies?

Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars (Before I close) before I close my eyes, I'm gonna give it up (Take off my mask) take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey!
