You push me when I'm falling
You push me when I'm falling
And then you put me down
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
How much more can I stand
You're pouring water
 
On a drowning man
You're pouring water on a drowning man
 
 


You put me on the right track

And then you put me down
And then you put me down
You stab me in the back
You stab me in the back
Everytime I turn around
 
Every time I turn around


Criticize my lovin'
Criticize my lovin'
When I'm doing the very best I can
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're pouring water on a drowning man
You bet that I like everything you do

You brag that I like everything you do
 
Put salt in my wounds
Put salt in my wounds
It's sad but it's true
It's sad but it's true

You warm me with your kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes

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 brag 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 brag 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
