A Good Idea
They went down to the river
Ooh, on a warm summer night
The air was thick
With the smell of temptation
Yo, he said why don't we lay in the water
Oh, let the water run over me
And she grinned and she said
Now she said, now she said

Now that's a good idea
She said, she said
Now that's a good idea
She said, she said
Now that's a good idea
She said, she said
Now that's a good idea
She said, she said

He held her head high in his hands
He held her down deep in the stream
He saw the bubbles and matted hair
Mixed in with seaweed, she started to scream
Was it something I said?
Was it something I said?
And she said and she said
And she said, she said
Now that's a good idea
She said, she said
To be alone with you
She said, she said
I've been waiting for years
And I'd rather be dead
That's a good idea
He said, he said

He held her down in the river
He held her down in the water
Another river of mud
Wash away those tears

He said and he said
Now that's a good idea
He said
Now that's a good idea
He said
Now that's a good idea
He said
Now that's a good idea

I saw them from the ocean
She didn't seem to mind
Didn't fight it at all
She didn't fight it at all
Some things are best left alone
Sometimes I'm best left alone
And sometimes I see you in the water
At night, at night, at night, at night
And that's a good idea
She said, she said
I wanna feel you in the water
With your hands on my head
Push you down into the water
She said, she said
Now that's a good idea
She said, she said
Now that's a good idea
That's a good idea
She said, she said
Now she said, now she said
That's a good idea
That's a good idea
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
I want to feel you in the water
With your hands on my head
Push you down into the water
She said, she said

That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
She said, she said
That's a good idea
