You push me when I'm
falling
And then you put me down
I guess I missed my calling
I should
have been a clown
How much more
How much more can
I stand
You're pouring water
On a drowning
man
You put me on the right track
And then you put me down
You stab me in
the back
Everytime I turn around
Criticize my lovin'
When I'm doing the
very best I can
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
N.
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You treat me like
The fool that I am
You bet that I like everything you do
Put salt in my
wounds
It's sad but it's true
You warm me with your
kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes
When I've
never been told
Won't you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You're
pouring water
On a drowning man
You're pouring water
On a drowning
man
You treat me like
The fool that I am
You bet that I like everything you
do
Put salt in my wounds
It's sad but it's true
You warm me with your
kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes
When I've
never been told
Won't you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You're
pouring water
On a poor drowning man
I got tears in my
eyes
Oh, I'm a drowning man
I got
tears in my eyes
You're pouring water
On a drowing man
You're pouring
water
On a poor drowning man
