You're rockin' the boat, you're wastin' my time
I'm startin' to drown man I'm drawin' the line
Your love caught me like an undertow
You're draggin' me down, breakin' my stride
I can't keep swimmin' up against the tide Oh no I'm goin' with
the flow
Gonna let ya go yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Love's got me treadin' water, your love's got me treadin' water
Oh oh, I'm gonna let ya go
Your love's got me treadin' water
An' I'm so tired of treadin' water
Oh oh, I'm gonna let ya go
I'm over my head, I just can't last
You're crampin' my style, ya got me sinkin' fast
C'mon gotta cut the line
We're runnin' out of time, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Love's got me treadin' water, your love's got me treadin' water
Oh oh, I'm gonna let ya go
Your love's got me treadin' water
An' I'm so tired of treadin' water
Oh oh, I'm gonna let ya go
Gonna let ya go, now you oughta know
I won't take it anymore, no no oh no
I Want You
