The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.
Can you do that?
[D] My [Cm] dear [G] sweet child, that's what I [C] do.
It's what I live for.
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
[G]
Souls with no one else to turn to.
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
They weren't kidding when they called me, [Db] well, a witch.
[G] But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways.
[Ab] Repented, seen [Db] the light and [G] made a switch.
Two years.
And I fortunately know a little magic.
It's a talent that I always [Ab] have possessed.
And [G] dear lady, please don't laugh.
I use it on behalf [Ab] of the miserable, [Db] lonely and [G] depressed.
Pathetic.
Poor unfortunate souls.
In pain, in need.
This one longing to be thinner, that [Cm] one wants to get the girl.
And do I [D] help them?
Yes, [G] indeed.
Those [Cm]
poor [G] unfortunate [Cm] souls.
So [D]
sad, [G] so true.

couldn't pay the price.
And I'm [G] afraid I have to rake them across [Cm] the coals.
Yes, [Db] I've had the odd complaint.
But on the whole [Ab] I've been a [Db] saint.
To [Cm] those poor [G] unfortunate souls.
[C] Have we got a deal?
[Ab] If I become human, [D]
I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
[G] But [Ab] you'll have [Db] your man.
[F]
[G] Life's full of tough choices.

But I don't have it.
[Ab] I'm not [F] asking [G] much.
Just a token, really, a [Cm] trifle.
What I want from you [D] is your [G] voice.
But without my voice, how can I
You'll have your looks.
Your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance of [A] body language.
[Am] The men up there don't like a lot of blather.
They think a girl who [Bb] gossips is a bore.
[Em] Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not [A] to say a word.
[Bb] And after all, [Eb] dear, what is idle [A] prattle for?
Come on, then, [Dm] not all that impressed with conversation.
True gentlemen avoid it when [Eb] they can.
But [E] they don't in [A] swooning song on a lady who's withdrawn.
[Bb] It's she who [Eb] holds her tongue who [A] gets her man.
Come on, you [Dm] poor unfortunate soul.
