They tell me, Gladys, you know you love too hard But I tell 'em, not nearly hard enough They say, girlfriend, you know you go too far Around the world ain't far enough 'Cause I only wanna show you, what you mean to me Every time I'm reachin' out to you, I start to sink I may be drowning with desire from your sweet, sweet touch I don't care what people say 'cause I love you so much Love overboard My love's in need of help Love overboard I sure can't help myself Love overboard I don't know what to do Love overboard I'm so in love with you, baby Baby, they say I work too hard Not really, when it comes to lovin' you You've got my overtime, you bring me peace of mind And there's so much more I'd like to do I only wanna find the love my heart's been searchin' for I'd climb most every mountain swim from shore to shore Just to feel the soft caress from your warm embrace In this ocean of love, no one can take your place Love overboard Oh, my love's in need of help Love overboard Sure can't help myself Love overboard I don't know what to do Love overboard So in love with you Love overboard I'm running out of time Love overboard I'm 'bout to lose my mind Love overboard I don't know what to do Love overboard I'm so in love with you All my friends keep telling me to let you go Between the two of us how could they ever know About the love you been givin'? Seems some people like to live their life so very close I like to let go sometime, so I can flow with the time I've done made up my mind, you're the only one for me Oh, my love's overboard (Gladys, Gladys, Gladys) I'm overboard Can't help myself I'm overboard Uh, the bottom may be deep But your love, so very sweet Well overboard Love overboard Love overboard So in love with you Love overboard Runnin' out of time Love overboard About to lose my mind Love overboard I don't know what to do Love overboard So in love with you Spinnin', fallin' People, aah, people Love's callin', I'm fallin' S-O-S-O-S-O-S-O-S Love's overboard My love's in need of help Love overboard I just can't help myself Love overboard I don't know what to do Love overboard
