[Verse 1]
He made his way
And hoped someday
He'd find someone to love
He sees a girl
Her tail is curled
He swims across to her

[Chorus]
But he's a seahorse, of course
Surely he knows
When you're a seahorse, of course
That's how it goes

[Verse 2]
They meet, they mate
And things are great
But only for a while
He wakes at dawn
He sees she's gone
Somehow, he's not surprised

[Chorus]
Cause he's a seahorse, of course
Surely he knows
When you're a seahorse, of course
That's how it goes
[Bridge]
But the waves above go up and down
The big fish circle all around
It's hard and cold and dark and mean
And he's so very small

[Verse 2]
Alone, afraid
His plans unmade
He helped his young survive
He makes his way
And hopes someday
He'll find someone to love

[Chorus]
But he's a seahorse, of course
Surely he knows
When you're a seahorse of course
That's how it goes
