Put salt in my wounds, it's sad but it's true
You're pouring water on a drowning man
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 drowning man
Criticize my lovin'
You treat me like the fool that I am
When I'm doing the very best I can
Then you leave me in the cold
Every time I turn around
You're pouring water on a poor drowning man
You treat me like the fool that I am
Just try and understand
Won't you please forgive me
When I've never been told
How much more can I stand?
Then you leave me in the cold
You stab me in the back
You're pouring water on a drowning man
You warm me with your kisses
You bet that I like everything you do
Put salt in my wounds, it's sad but it's true
When I've never been told
Just try and understand
How much more?
You're pouring water on a drowning man
You put me on the right track
You bet that I like everything you do
I got tears in my eyes
I guess I missed my calling
You warm me with your kisses
You're pouring water on a drowning man
I should have been a clown
How can I know your wishes
How can I know your wishes
Won't you please forgive me
And then you put me down
