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 loving 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 that fool 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
