Lyrics:

[In the original story,
she doesn't get the guy,
she doesn't live happily ever after,
she loses her voice, her tail,
her family and turns into sea foam.]

I know you'll do it, you'll do it for this
One day you'll think he's the one
You'll follow him over oceans, he'll promise you the world

He will parade you around the seas
He'll murmur his affection, his devotion
He will convince you to leave the deep
He'll promise you the world

(But) if you'd do it anyway, why would you do it for love?
If you'd do it anyway, why would you do it for love?
If you'd do it anyway, why would you do it for love?
Do it for

Love
('cause you want the ocean and not what he's giving you)
You want the ocean and not what he's giving you
You want the ocean and not what he's giving you

Your legs will go first, to needles and pins,
And then your voice
You promised him you'd come back forever,
He promised you the world

If you'd do it anyway, why would you do it for love?
If you'd do it anyway, why would you do it for love?
If you'd do it anyway, why would you do it for love?
If you'd do it anyway, why would you do it for love?
Do it for

Love
