You ain't nothin' but trouble, far as I can tell 
Just a wasted wish in the wishin' well 
But you don't know, I've been here before 
I'm just one too many miles from shore 

And I'm takin' on water and I'm goin' down 
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now 
Takin' on water with only one way out 
I gotta get my heart to higher ground 

Oh, I'm already in, in too deep 

I know you won't be there to rescue me 
I'm already feel it, right through my chest 
I'm afraid if I taste it, I might not catch my breath 

And I'm takin' on water and I'm goin' down 
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now 
Takin' on water with only one way out 
I gotta get my heart to higher ground 

Why is a woman always thinkin' 
Just because a man is sinkin' 
He's gonna drown 

But I'm takin' on water, goin' down  
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now 
Takin' on water, there's only one way out 
I gotta get my heart to higher ground 

And I'm takin' on water, goin' down 
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now 
Takin' on water with only one way out 
I gotta get my heart to higher ground 

Takin' on water, goin' down 
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now 
Takin' on water with only one way out 
I gotta get my heart to higher ground 

Takin' on water, goin' down 
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now 
Takin' on water with only one way out
