Lyrics:

You push me when I'm falling
And you kick me when I'm down
I guess I missed my calling
'Cause I should have been a clown
How much more
How much more could I stand
When you're pouring water
On a drowning man, I like that

Put me on the right track
And then you let me down
You stab me in the back, yes you do baby
Every time I turn around, alright
Criticizing my love
Won't you try, just try to understand
You're pouring water, I've got to tell you 'bout it
On a drowning man

You're pouring water on a drowning man
You treat me like the fool that I am
You bragged that I like everything you do
You put salt in my wound, it's sad but it's true

You warm me with your kissin'
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes, will you tell me
When I've never been told? Alright
I'm cryin' mercy, baby
Just try to understand
You're pouring water, I've got to tell you 'bout it
I'm an old drowning man, yeah

You're pouring water, ha ha
You see I'm a drowning man
Oh, I got tears in my eyes
I'm a drowning man
Don't let me drown, oh baby
I'm a drowning man
