otha fish (remix)

It took a second to register up in my cranium
'cause life had burned me deeper than some weapons grade uranium
My eyes had had enough it was time to do some walking
I had to make sense of all the nonsense we were talking
Now mostly I've been sleepin. I never was out peepin' for the ladies. 
So she creeped in like a breeze. And when she stuck around, there had to be a reason. Ooo, I thought I'd take a chance 'cause for all things there is a season.
We got into the groove without me ever trying to make a move
I didn't have a thing to prove
Next thing you know we got together, damn I'd hoped we'd be forever, guess I just assumed too much and know I'm soaked in stormy weather
She said for birds to fly together depends if they're of a feather, and we're not yo. But me I just don't know.
They'll be no suicide attempts for this cold old kid, 'cause you know there's other fish, in the sea that is.

I reminisce, try to clear up all the myths and then I sift through all the shit that holds us back.
Not even friends now and I wish I had a way but now some things that have come out have broke the camel's weary back.
I am what I am still, my heart's like an anvil.
Been pounded on so long I know just how much I can handle.
But men aren't supposed to be the one's that want the whole deal. They run away from marriage and the future makes them squeal. Family oriented, with no orientation.
But dames they never claim me less they live across the nation.
A hero is a sandwich and a pork roll is a meal, a marriage is a paper but I'm saying what I feel.
This is the deal dapper, I won't go tumblin' after, the girl I thought would hold me but just pushed me down faster.
The reason I can say so is because I'm sick of this. I know what my own worth is and your reasons are all shit.
Maybe I don't suit ya and I guess I'm not your size, but you're passing on a future with a heart that's world wide.
And if you open up your eyes, which by the way I really wish. I hope you don't think any less when I swim with other fish in the sea.

Now if there ain't no mountain high enough, why don't you cycle up. My hand it was extended ever since the day I texted to you. I thought you knew me but you didn't even know me, girl you showed me, when I thought I'd captured cupid but you said that we weren't two of a kind. 
I'm all heart you're all mind. You're still out searching churches for things I don't need to find. But even if that's just some, it's still too much to overcome. Because I believe in feelings and you seem to think that's dumb.
And now the big man is stealing my hope away. I'd charge him like a bull but his pull is strong as crazy glue. 
The girls I gave my heart to, the ones that came before you,
they never lived up to my dreams the way I found that you do.
But hey diddle diddle I can't play second fiddle to no God and stand firm on this, it's not meant as a dis, even if I miss your kiss your happiness I wish, it's just the pits that I need the other fish in the sea.
