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
