Well I´ve been up to my neck in trouble
Up to my neck in strife
Up to my neck in misery
For most of my life
I´ve been a fool

And you know what a fool can do
I´m telling you
You came along when I needed you
Now I´m up, I´m up to my neck in you
And I´ve been up to my neck in pleasure
Up to my neck in pain
I´ve been up to my neck on the railroad track
Waitin´ for the train
To cruise on through
Well baby my time is due
Oh it´s way overdue
You came along and you pulled me through
Now I´m up, up to my neck in you
Well I´ve been up to my neck in whiskey
I´ve been up to my neck in wine
I´ve been up to my neck in wishing
That this neck wasn´t mine
I was a loser

You weren´t lost
Baby you were too good, too good to be true
What you´ve got no one else could do
Now I´m up, I´m up to my neck in you
Yeah you came along when I needed you
Oh I´m up to my neck in you
