Pouring Water on a Drowning Man lyrics

You push me when I'm falling

And you kick me when I'm down

I guess I missed my calling

Cause I sit up in a cloud

How much more

How much more could I stand

When you're pouring water

On a drowning man

Put me on the right track

And then you let me down

Stab me in the back

Yes, you do, baby

Everytime I turn around

Criticize my love, won't you try

Just try to understand

You're pouring water

I got to tell you bout it

On a drowning man

You're pouring water

On a drowning man

You treat me like

The fool that I am

You planned it out

Like everything you do

You put salt in my wound

It's sad but it's true

You warm me with your kissing

Then you leave me in the cold

How can I know your wishes

Wanna hear you tell me

When I never been told, alright

I cried in mercy, baby

Just try to understand

You're pouring water

I got to tell you bout it

On an old drowning man, yeah

You're pouring water, ha ha

You see I'm a drowning man

Oh, I got tears in my eyes

I'm a drowning man

Don't let me drown, oh, baby

I'm a drowning man
