I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
I'm drowning in the sea of love
Let me tell you all about it

I've been out here so very long
And I lost all my direction
Baby when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
Then a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
And I can't seem to control these tears
That's falling from my eyes

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
I'm drowning in the sea of love
Listen to me, baby

Baby I depended on you
For our love's navigation
Now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation?
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
Ooh yeah, I'm just not ready for you
I looked around and all I could see
Was water coming over me

I've been down one time, yes I have
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Yes I'm drowning in the sea of love
I wanna tell you about it

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
I'm drowning in the sea of love
Listen to me, baby

Baby I depended on you
For our love's navigation
Now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation?
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
Ooh yeah, I'm just not ready for you
I looked around and all I could see
Was water coming over me

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
I'm drowning in the sea of love
Yes I am, I'm drowning
I'm drowning in the sea of love
That's just what I'm doing, I'm drowning
I'm drowning in the sea of love
But can't you hear me, baby?
Don't you know I need you, baby?

(I've been down one time)
(I've been down two times)
Can't you see I'm trying, baby?
(I've been down one time)
(I've been down two times)
Can't you see I'm trying?
(I've been down one time)
Can't you see I'm trying, baby?
(I've been down two times)
(I've been down one time)
Ohh yes I'm trying, baby
(I've been down two times)
(I've been down one time)
