Lyrics
Push me out to sea, baby
It's the best thing for us both
I'll be happy out there, baby
Fish below and stars above
And you'll be happier without me
Push me out to sea, baby
There's nothing left for you to do
We did our best with our love, baby
But it brought us down so low
And you'll be happier without me
I'll wash up on your beach one morning
A strange shell lying on the shore
You'll put me to your ear and I'll whisper
What today I just can't say
Then you'll throw me back into the water
And forget you ever found me
And forget you ever lost me
Push me out to sea, baby
It's the best thing for us both
I'll be happy out there, baby
Fish below and stars above
And you'll be happier without me
