I went down to the river
Just to see if it would rain
I looked down in the water

I could not believe my eyes
A face and a reflection
Was staring back at me ahah

And it scares me just to think
About the power that this woman has on me


Just to keep from drowning
I get down on my knees to pray
Just to keep from drowning

I'll do anything you say
Help me now
Help me now


It rained the day I met her
I should have known that was a sign

But I couldn't see the weather
That woman almost made me blind
I wanted her to love me

Now all I want is to be free
And it scares me just to think
About the power that this woman has on me


Just to keep from drowning
I'll do anything I can

Just to keep from drowning
Lord I need a helping hand
Help me now

Help me now

I hear the river call my name

But the water's dark and cold
I see your face
And I'm afraid this time

That I will lose my soul
I will lose my soul
I might lose my soul

Help me
Help me now


Just to keep from drowning
I get down on my knees to pray
Just to keep from drowning

I'll do anything you say
Help me now
Help me please


What else's gonna save me from drowning here
Just to deliver me

Keep from drowning
I get on my knees to pray
Just to free my soul

Just to keep from drowning
You know I'd do anything you say woman
Ooh

Have me talking baby
Drowning
Drowning


Can't we
Living like it should

With unbroken heart
I'd do anything


Just to keep from drowning
Just to keep from burning down
I get on my knees to pray


I said it scares me
Just to think about you woman

How will she help for me
I gotta keep from drowning
