Throw Me in the Water

John Nemeth

I've been compromising trying to make it with you
You don't like my feelin and I don't know what to do
Others say they love me but I'm too weak to try
I just wish you'd love me but you leave me here to cry
You say that I'm lazy tell me I'm weak-willed
A giant ball of pity a victim of my ideals

Throw me in the water, hey baby
I need to free my mind
Throw me in the water, hey baby
My love is runnin' blind
Throw me in the water, hey baby
My soul, I have to find
Oh I have to find

3000 bottles of whiskey, 100 pounds of grass
Can't erase this feelin' of my checkered past
You think that I'm broken, watch me scale this wall
If you want to take me, I'm gonna make you crawl
Weight is on my shoulders, bricks are on my feet
I can't break these chains of love, you want to see me sink

Throw me in the water, hey baby
I need to free my mind
Throw me in the water, hey baby
My love is runnin' blind
Throw me in the water, hey baby
My soul I have to find
Oh I have to find

Hey baby, Oh baby
You know I love you baby
I'm down and out, lift me up
Make me strong, make me see
I wanna live, I wanna be
These chains, these chains of love
Won't set me free
Throw me in the water
My soul I have to find
