She's the mother, I'm the provider
I'm the father, she is my child
She is the border, I'm the divider
Remember the time
That we used to run wild
We were free

Like a fish in the sea is
When there's nobody fishin' around
To be free, to be what I wanted to be
Spread my wings and you can't bring me down, yeah

I am the teacher, she's my student
She is the preacher, I'm her convert
I am the seeker, she is the answer
Making it somehow, forgetting the hunt
To be free

Like a fish in the sea is
When there's nobody fishin' around
To be free, to be what I wanted to be
Spread my wings and you can't bring me down

We'd often sit at separate tables
We'd share the same bed every night
Forget the morals and the fables
Sometimes they make you feel
That it's not right, it's not right

She is the summer, I am the winter
I am the poet, she is my soul
Sharing it all because we're always together
Remember the times that I wanted to go
And be free

Like a fish in the sea is
When there's nobody fishin' around
To be free, to be what I wanted to be
Free when there's nobody fishin' around

She is the mother, I am the provider
She is the mother, I am the provider
She is the mother, I am the provider

Hall & Oates

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
