Pouring Water on a Drowning Man

Lyrics

You push me when I'm falling
 And you kick me when I'm down
 I guess I missed my calling
 Cause I should have been a clown
 How much more
 How much more could I stand
 When you're pouring water
 On a drowning man
 Put me on the right track
 And then you let me down
 Stab me in the back
 Yes, you do, baby
 Everytime I turn around
 Criticize my love, won't you try
 Just try to understand
 You're pouring water
 I got to tell you bout it
 On a drowning man
 You're pouring water
 On a drowning man
 You treat me like
 The fool that I am
 You planned it out
 Like everything you do
 You put salt in my wound
 It's sad but it's true
 You warm me with your kissing
 Then you leave me in the cold
 How can I know your wishes
 Wanna hear you tell me
 When I never been told, alright
 I cried in mercy, baby
 Just try to understand
 You're pouring water
 I got to tell you bout it
 On an old drowning man, yeah
 You're pouring water, ha ha
 You see I'm a drowning man
 Oh, I got tears in my eyes
 I'm a drowning man
 Don't let me drown, oh, baby
 I'm a drowning man
 
 You push me when I'm falling
 And you kick me when I'm down
 I guess I missed my calling
 Cause I should have been a clown
 How much more
 How much more could I stand
 When you're pouring water
 On a drowning man
 Put me on the right track
 And then you let me down
 Stab me in the back
 Yes, you do, baby
 Everytime I turn around
 Criticize my love, won't you try
 Just try to understand
 You're pouring water
 I got to tell you bout it
 On a drowning man
 You're pouring water
 On a drowning man
 You treat me like
 The fool that I am
 You planned it out
 Like everything you do
 You put salt in my wound
 It's sad but it's true
 You warm me with your kissing
 Then you leave me in the cold
 How can I know your wishes
 Wanna hear you tell me
 When I never been told, alright
 I cried in mercy, baby
 Just try to understand
 You're pouring water
 I got to tell you bout it
 On an old drowning man, yeah
 You're pouring water, ha ha
 You see I'm a drowning man
 Oh, I got tears in my eyes
 I'm a drowning man
 Don't let me drown, oh, baby
 I'm a drowning man
