[Intro: Emilia Ali]
I thought you said you loved the ocean
When we were standing at the shore
You didn’t even dip your toes in
I can’t believe I just took you home, yeah
[Chorus]
I thought you said you loved the ocean
When we were standing at the shore
You didn’t even dip your toes in
I can’t believe I just took you home (yeah)
[Verse 1]
You and me, by the sea, working on our tan lines
(I thought you said you loved the ocean)
Tangerine dream, I watch you swim, I watch you dive
(When we were standing at the shore)
We could pretend it’s always like this
(You didn’t even dip your toes in)
(I can’t believe I just took you home, yeah)
Let’s pretend it’s always like this
[Verse 2]
Let’s get rich, live like kings, let’s get red like lobsters
(I thought you said you loved the ocean)
Factor 50 on my skin, fighting off the monsters
(When we were standing at the shore)
Let’s pretend it’s always like this
(You didn’t even dip your toes in)
(I can’t believe I just took you home, yeah)
And let’s collect some pretty pictures, yeah
[Chorus]
I thought you said you loved the ocean
When we were standing at the shore
You didn’t even dip your toes in
I can’t believe I just took you home (yeah)
[Verse 3]
I’m roasting, just coasting, good mood
Your skin on my skin, posing in a photo booth
The scent of vanilla from your shampoo
And we move only when we have to
[Verse 4]
We’re fresher than daisies, driving me crazy, driving at high speeds
Hit me like Tyson, when pillow fighting up in the en-suite
You float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, gave me a nosebleed
Life’s a beach, I’m a sexy beast
[Chorus]
I thought you said you loved the ocean
When we were standing at the shore
You didn’t even dip your toes in
I can’t believe I just took you home (yeah)
[Chorus]
I thought you said you loved the ocean
When we were standing at the shore
You didn’t even dip your toes in
I can’t believe I just took you home (yeah)
[Chorus]
I thought you said you loved the ocean
When we were standing at the shore
You didn’t even dip your toes in
I can’t believe I just took you home (yeah)
[Outro]

I wrote this one with [US songwriter and producer] Rob Milton. Rob found the track ‘Loved the Ocean’ by [American singer-songwriter] Emilia Ali.
