A Swim in the Ocean Lyrics by The Call

Red Moon

1990

[Verse 1]
I'm too young to have problems
I'm too old to play games
I'm too wise to be standing
Standing in the pouring rain
[Verse 2]
I'm too smart to be hungry
I'm too hard to be meek
I'm too proud to be sorry
I'm too strong to be weak
[Chorus]
Go take a swim in the ocean
Go take a swim in the sea
Go take a swim in the ocean
Who's gonna care about me?
[Verse 3]
I'm too brave to be frightened
I don't keep to the rules
I'm too sharp to heed warning
I ain't nobody's fool
[Chorus]
Go take a swim in the ocean
Go take a swim in the sea
Go take a swim in the ocean
Who's gonna care about me?
[Verse 4]
I'm too cold to have heartaches
I'm too wise to lose aim
Too controlled to get angry
I'm too strong to feel pain
[Verse 5]
I'm too rich to be lonely
I'm too wild to have kids
I'm too strong to need a family
I'm too proud to give in
[Chorus 2]
Go take a swim in the ocean
Go take a swim in the sea
Go take a swim in the ocean
How you gonna want me?
How you gonna find me?
How you gonna love me, babe?
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Ho!
