(jett/byrd/mccurry/supa/laguna)
Youre rockin the boat, youre wastin my time
Im startin to drown man Im drawin the line
Your love caught me like an undertow
Youre draggin me down, breakin my stride
I cant keep swimmin up against the tide oh no Im goin with the flow
Gonna let ya go yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Loves got me treadin water, your loves got me treadin water
Oh oh, Im gonna let ya go
Your loves got me treadin water
An Im so tired of treadin water
Oh oh, Im gonna let ya go
Im over my head, I just cant last
Youre crampin my style, ya got me sinkin fast
Cmon gotta cut the line
Were runnin out of time, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Loves got me treadin water, your loves got me treadin water
Oh oh, Im gonna let ya go
Your loves got me treadin water
An Im so tired of treadin water
Oh oh, Im gonna let ya go
Gonna let ya go, now you oughta know
I wont take it anymore, no no oh no
