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 Every time I turn around Criticize my lovin` When I`m doing the very best I can 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 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 drowning man You`re pouring water On a poor drowning man
