You push me when I'm falling
And you kick me when I'm down
I guess I missed my calling

Cause I sit up in a cloud

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
