TOO MANY FISH IN THE SEA
(Norman Whitfield / Eddie Holland) 
The Marvelettes


(spoken): 
Look here, girls: Take this advice & remember always in life. 

Into each heart some tears must fall 
Though you love & lose you must stand tall 
'Cause you all got to cry sometimes, I say, sigh sometimes 
Pull yourself together, no use cryin' forever 

CHORUS: 
Because there are 
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea) 
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones 
(Too many fish in the sea) 

My mother once told me somethin', & every word is true: 
Don't waste your time on a fella who doesn't love you 
They'll only mislead you, only grieve you 
Don't worry about him, let him go, do without him 

(chorus) 
(instrumental) 

If a fish isn't on your line 
Bait your hook & keep on tryin' 
Don't let him get you down 
There's other boys around 

(chorus) 

I don't want nobody who don't want me 
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) 
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me, now 
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) 
I don't need nobody who don't need me 
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) 
I don't want nobody who don't want me, now 
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) 
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me 
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
