[Verse 1]
You said, "I'm drowning, drowning, why aren't you helping me?"
I said, "I'm drowning, drowning too, can't you see?"
I said, "Why can't you just take my hand and float with me?"
You said, "'Cause you're not worth it, really"

[Chorus]
Oh it's never gonna work, never gonna work, never gonna work, never gonna work for us two, for us two
And you want me to stick around, me to stick around, me to stick around, me to stick around
Tell me how?
And if I did you know that we will both just
Drown, drown, drown, drown
Drown, drown, drown, drown

[Verse 2]
You said, "You don't hold me, don't hold me no more"
I said, "'Cause I love you less than I did before"
You said, "You've become so annoying, you've become such a bore"
I said, "Then why don't you just pack your bags
And walk right out the door"

[Chorus]
Cause it's never gonna work, never gonna work, never gonna work, never gonna work for us two, for us two
And you want me to stick around, me to stick around, me to stick around
Tell me how? Tell me how?
And if I did you know that we will both just
Drown, drown, drown, drown
Drown, drown, drown, drown
[Bridge]
We hate each other when the tide is low
But when the tide is high
The love comes rushing back in
Full flow
We hate each other when the tide is low
But when the tide is high
The love comes rushing back in
Full flow

[Chorus]
But it's never gonna work, never gonna work, never gonna work for us two, for us two
And you want me to stick around, me to stick around, me to stick around, me to stick around
Tell me how?
And if I did you know that we will both just
Drown, drown, drown, drown
Drown, drown, drown, drown
