You're Pouring Water On a Drowning Man

You tripped me when I'm falling

You kick me when I'm down

I think I miss my calling

I should have been a clown

How much more can I stand?

You're pouring water on a drowning man

You get me on the right track, baby

And then you run me down, oh, yes, you do

You stab me in the back, trust yeah

Every time I turn around

Criticizin' my loving when I'm doing all I can

You're pouring water on a drowning man

You're pouring water on a drowning man

When you treat me like the fool I am

You bragged that I'll take anything you do

Salt in my wound, this lie and this truth

You warm me with your kisses, baby

Then you leave me in the cold, oh-yes, you do

How can I know your wishes? Yeah

When I've never been told

Won't you show a little mercy?

Can't you understand?

You're pouring water on a drowning man

You're pouring water on a drowning man

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah
