lyrics

I went fishing in the river beside the lake.
Caught a trout with a hook in its mouth,
and he spat it out.

I went climbing in the tree beside the house.
Caught my hair in the branches,
and I ripped it out.

But if you sing to me sweetly, I think I could fall in love.
But only if you sing sweetly.

You went fishing in the river beside the lake.
Caught me with a look and a smile
to fight it out.
You thought by climbing a tree
you could scout me out.
Slam your heart next to mine,
but I ripped it out.

If you sing to me sweetly, I think I could fall in love
But only if you sing sweetly
But if you sing to me sweetly, I think I could fall in love
But only if you sing sweetly
