The Pharcyde
Otha Fish
[Verse 1]
It took a second to register up in my brainium
My dome, my head, my skull, my cranium
My eyes had had enough, it was time to do some talkin'
I had to creep through the hound dogs that were stalkin'
The slimmy caught me peepin', this means she wasn't sleepin'
On who I was, so she crept in like a hawk
In a minute's time, we adjourned to the floor
Ooh, I hit a high note 'cause of the way that she was walkin'
We got into the groove, we didn't bust no, uh, hip-hop moves
I just kept it nice and smooth
Next thing you know, we got together, word, I thought we'd be forever
Didn't have an umberella, now we soaked in stormy weather
Whether two birds of a feather fly or fall, it'll be together
Never simpin', or leave your love life limp
There'll be no suicide attempts for the slim, trim kid
'Cause you know there's other fish in the sea, that is

[Chorus]
In the sea, sea, in the sea that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is

[Verse 2]
I reminisce and try to clear up all the myths
For an imaginary kiss with you again
Not even friends, though I wish that I could mend
Like a tailor and be Olive Oyl's number one sailor
I am what I am, still I fall like an anvil
She's heavy on the mind, sometimes it's hard for me to handle, but
Men aren't supposed to be humble like a den, be
Macho like the honcho, like Pancho will give in
Family oriented, but not Oriental
A dame is supposed to claim you even if you drive a Pinto
A hero is a sandwich and a Manwich is a meal
A marriage is a paper, are they fakin' or for real?
What's the deal, dapper? Will you come tumbling after?
Your man'll take a stand and will you help him fall faster?
The reason why I ask you is because I'm sick of this
Bitch lickin' drip drip from a n***a's benefits
He doesn't even suit you and he's surely not your size
I'm surprised that you slept on a heart that's worldwide
And when you open up your eyes, baby mate, I really wish
That you don't bruise a limb as you swim with other fish
[Chorus]
In the sea, sea, in the sea that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is

[Verse 3]
Now, if there ain't no mountain high enough, why ain't you climbin' up?
My hand has been extended every since the day I lent it to you
I thought I knew you, but I didn't even know you
Bro, you're stupid, 'cause you thought you captured Cupid
And you found that love ain't two bits of shit, so I resign and quit
It ain't even about the lips or the hips or the tits
Or even the pussy whip, Elizabeth, this is it
He slipped and I tripped into a shoe that didn't fit
And now the next man is stealing my heart away
I'd charge him like a bull, but his pull never fades me
The kid is going crazy, they steppin' with my lady
They workin' on a baby, I'm pushin' up the daisies, but
Hey, diddle diddle, I won't play second fiddle
To no man and stand firm on this
And seal up all of this with a big juicy kiss
Just call me Big Gibraltar, miss
No, I won't diss, I'm just on an other fish in the sea

[Chorus]
Sea, in the sea that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
You know there's other fish in the sea, that is
