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
Everytime 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 bet 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 bet 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
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
Everytime 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 bet 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 bet 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
