And then you put me down
You push me when I'm falling<br>
I guess I missed my calling
And then you put me down<br>
I should have been a clown
I guess I missed my calling<br>
 
I should have been a clown<br>
How much more
How much more<br>
How much more can I stand
How much more can I stand<br>
You're pouring water

You put me on the right track<br>
You put me on the right track
And then you put me down<br>
And then you put me down
You stab me in the back<br>
You stab me in the back
Every time I turn around<br>
Everytime I turn around
Criticize my lovin'<br>
 
When I'm doing the very best I can<br>
Criticize my lovin'
You're pouring water on a drowning man<br>
When I'm doing the very best I can

You're pouring water
You're pouring water on a drowning man<br>
On a drowning man
You treat me like the fool that I am<br>
You're pouring water
You brag that I like everything you do<br>
On a drowning man
Put salt in my wounds<br>
You treat me like
It's sad but it's true<br>
The fool that I am
<br>
You bet that I like everything you do
You warm me with your kisses<br>
Put salt in my wounds
Then you leave me in the cold<br>
It's sad but it's true
How can I know your wishes<br>
 
When I've never been told<br>
You warm me with your kisses
Won't you please forgive me<br>
Then you leave me in the cold
Just try and understand<br>
How can I know your wishes
You're pouring water on a drowning man<br>
When I've never been told
<br>
Won't you please forgive me
You're pouring water on a drowning man<br>

It's sad but it's true
Just try and understand<br>
 
You're pouring water on a poor drowning man<br>
You warm me with your kisses
<br>
Then you leave me in the cold
I got tears in my eyes<br>
How can I know your wishes
Oh, I'm a drowning man<br>
When I've never been told
I got tears in my eyes<br>
Won't you please forgive me
<br>
Just try and understand
You're pouring water on a drowning man<br>
You're pouring water
You're pouring water on a poor drowning man<br>
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

lyrics for
Pouring Water On A Drowning Man

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 drowning man
You're pouring water on a poor drowning man
