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
