Love at Twenty-First Sight

When I first saw her I thought it was love at first sight
But she rejected me like a bitter pill you just can't swallow
Heartbroken, I decided to follow
                      the other fish in the sea
I kept saw her swimming and wondered why can't she be with me

We were young back then and the feeling just wasn't right
Maybe it's love at twenty-first sight

I've seen her more than twenty one times
But I feel like she's seen me less
The other fish kept passing me by
But they nibbled at her like she was the best bait they ever had

We were young back then and the feeling just wasn't right
Maybe it's love at twenty-first sight

 I hid out in a sea anemone
I kept saw her swimming by with a big school of friends
But I could see the loneliness in her bright eyes
       Through the darkness in mine

My heart was growing hungrier
I couldn't stand it any longer
I saw a tasty worm outside my hiding place
Took a bite and was hooked

 My body was surfacing toward the light
The fresh air enthralled me, and I saw her at the end of the line
There's plenty of fish in the sea, but now she is mine

We're older now and the spark is finally bright
It's love at twenty-first sight.
