Save me! Save me, save me! Save me! Save me, save me! I'm going down, down for the third time I'm going down, down for the third time Drowning in tears from my heart that's hurting Drowning in tears from a love that's uncertain. I'm lost in a world without love, a sea of emptyness The love we knew is being washed away Don't think I can last, my heart is sinking fast. I'm going down, down for the third time Trying to hold on to a love that's gone Drowning in the love that keeps me breathing Drowning in the fear that my arms you're leaving. Bring back that love we knew Darling let me live again A little tenderness to me start showing Fill my heart with love till it's overflowing. I'm going down, down for the third time Trying to hold on to a love that's gone I'm going down, down for the third time So won't you save this heart of mine. Going down, down for the third time Going down, down for the third time I'm like a ship all alone on a raging sea You got me tossing and a-turning And I can't get free. Reach out your hand for me Darling, save what's left of our love I'll forgive your lies and alibies If you'll wipe my crying eyes. I'm going down, down for the third time So won't you save this heart of hime I've loved too long, I love too strong Now little boy you know you're doing me wrong Come on and save me Come on and save me Come on and save me I'm going down, down for the third time.
