Verse 1
I saw water lappin' and a mermaid came to shore / don't remember the beach but it was a saint or a fort / she loved to swim but said that sailing was more / her flavor this sort / of small talk made a rapport / she ain’t never had a chance to go where we been / her daddy was the king of the sea and she lived to please em' / she had some brothers and their wifey's gave her nieces / she'd seen the candy rappers but she asked “what up with reeses?” / my reply “chocolate peanut butter and no wrong way to eat it” / she said “that sounds good would you please stop teasing?” / I laughed “feets are for walking and fins are for swimmin'” / she replied “if you kiss me then these fins will be finished” / she was sincere, I said “I dig it” / on my prince shit believing fairy tales a grown man / a kiss gave her legs she walked and so we hold hands / I had a lot of loves but barely felt this type of romance

Chorus
2x
So lemme' tell you bout' misses, misses /
Princess / Blacktides / Knew you in a past life /
Looks mean thank God she act nice /
Looks mean thank God she act nice
Verse 2
She wanted to learn all that I could teach her / she had heard of music but had never seen a speaker / she knew about Saturday nights but not the fever / knew that I had to feed her and then we'd go dancing / went to IHOP and even that was romantic / casual conversations and a couple “oh damn-its” / I broke down pancakes syrup and grits / coffee, cream, sugar , and stirrin' it in / she smiled – she liked to sip it /
“word” I was nervous as hell for really really / “word” I tried to play it cool and keep it chilly / “word” I asked the waitress if she'd bring the bill please / I settled up the bill and then we slid stage left / she burped and you could tell that she just ate egg's / and that was straight to me / see I wasn't hating / cuz I knew when I burped that you could smell I ate bacon

Chorus

So lemme' tell you bout' misses, misses /
Princess / Blacktides / Knew you in a past life /

Verse 3
I had to ditch the bacon now my breath was pepperminted / underwater dancing has a different defintion / Imma hit her with the Oxford and a couple extra kisses / went from her royal purples to an out fit that was fitted / it was Christmas in July and her lips was on my wish list / and she wrapped em' in a beautiful face cause she was pertty / Lord! Nah, she ain't have mercy / got men breaking they necks and all needing gurneys / eyes hit the frame it was like a fiend returnin' / dancefloor my hands in the small of her back / she went from amateur to pro and that was all in a flash / that night I danced harder than I danced in my life / far as I knew I had my hands on a wife / but how the constellations got to fool my starry eyes / she said she had to use the bathroom but left the bar behind / that night the tide left a mark on my mind

Chorus

So lemme' tell you bout' misses, misses /
Princess / Blacktides / Knew you in a past life /
Looks mean thank God she act nice /
Looks mean thank God she acted nice
