Love is a boat and it's hard to keep that boat afloat
When waves come crashing in from every direction
There's a storm passing through and it's headed straight for me and you
There's bound to be some heavy raining for the sun comes shining through
So when the dark clouds are all around
And the ship starts a-rockin' like it's goin' down
We can't be afraid of goin' overboard
Overboard with your love and affection
Takes a little more giving and a lot less taking
You can go under or we can go overboard
Now when troubles hit
You know a lot of lovers they just quit
They don't see the blue out on the horizon
They give up, hit the door
When they ought to give a little bit more
The secret to surviving is to both go overboard
So when the dark clouds are all around
And your ship starts a-rockin' like it's goin' down
You can't be afraid of goin' overboard
Overboard with your love and affection
Takes a little more giving and a lot less taking
You can go under or you can go overboard
When the dark clouds are all around
And your ship starts rocking like it's going down
You can't be afraid of going overboard
Overboard with your love and affection
Takes a little more giving and a lot less taking
You can go under or you can go over
You can go under or you can go over
You can go under or you can go overboard
