I appreciate your sweet kind words and girl you're looking good tonight
Had you come around not too long ago I'm sure we'd had us a time
But I got someone givin' me more love than I'll ever need
Girl you got to understand
It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man
Building a fire and the desert sand
Tellin' old Noah all about the flood
Catfish hearing bout the Mississippi mud
You want to give me lovin' and I'm sure that you can
But it's like givin' water to a drowning man
Lots of pretty women in this town but I don't give a second look
It's just a waste of time staring at the cover when you've already read the book
Cause ever since the day we met I've been in over my head
No one loves me like she can
It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man
Tellin' Merle Haggard bout a one night stand
Cussin' at the devil preachin' at the choir
Throwin' a lighted match on a raging fire
My baby gives me more love than any one man can stand
It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man
[ guitar ]
Yeah I got someone givin' me more love than I'll ever need
Girl you got to understand
It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man...
It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man...
