I went down to the river

Just to see if it would rain

I looked down in the water

I could not believe my eyes

A face and a reflection

Was staring back at me ahah

And it scares me just to think

About the power that this woman has on me

Just to keep from drowning

I get down on my knees to pray

Just to keep from drowning

I'll do anything you say

Help me now

Help me now

It rained the day I met her

I should have known that was a sign

But I couldn't see the weather

That woman almost made me blind

I wanted her to love me

Now all I want is to be free

And it scares me just to think

About the power that this woman has on me

Just to keep from drowning

I'll do anything I can

Just to keep from drowning

Lord I need a helping hand

Help me now

Help me now

I hear the river call my name

But the water's dark and cold

I see your face

And I'm afraid this time

That I will lose my soul

I will lose my soul

I might lose my soul

Help me

Help me now

Just to keep from drowning

I get down on my knees to pray

Just to keep from drowning

I'll do anything you say

Help me now

Help me please

What else's gonna save me from drowning here

Just to deliver me

Keep from drowning

I get on my knees to pray

Just to free my soul

Just to keep from drowning

You know I'd do anything you say woman

Ooh

Have me talking baby

Drowning

Drowning

Can't we

Living like it should

With unbroken heart

I'd do anything

Just to keep from drowning

Just to keep from burning down

I get on my knees to pray

I said it scares me

Just to think about you woman

How will she help for me

I gotta keep from drowning
