O-o-o-oh the water´s getting deep
And I can´t swim because it´s dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Many´s the time I´ve asked you to say

Why do you feel so bad day to day?
Could it be you´re wrong to push yourself alone
I´d say it´s not a guess, you make yourself a mess
And get yourself in deeper water

Why do you think it´s all wrong for you?
Maybe it´s in some things that you do
Baby, it´s alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I´d bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta
O-o-o-oh, the water´s getting deep
And I can´t swim, if I could then I´d come in
O-o-o-oh, the water´s getting deep
And I can´t swim, because it´s dirty, dirty water
Oh-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Why do you think it´s all wrong for you?
Maybe it´s in some things that you do
Baby, it´s alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I´d bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta
O-o-o-oh, the water´s getting deep
And I can´t swim, if I could then I´d come in
O-o-o-oh the water´s getting deep
And I can´t swim because it´s dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, the water´s getting deep.....
