[Verse 1]
You push me when I'm falling
And you kick me when I'm down
I guess I missed my calling
'Cause I should have been a clown
How much more
How much more could I stand
When you're pouring water
On a drowning man

[Verse 2]
Put me on the right track
And then you let me down
You stab me in my back
Yes you do baby
Everytime I turn around
You criticized my loving
Won't you try, just try to understand
You're pouring water, oh, yes, you are
On a drowning man, oh, you know, you know
Oh, you're pouring water on a drowning man, oh, yeah

[Verse 3]
You're pouring water on a drowning man
You treat me like the fool that I am
You bragged that I like everything you do
You put salt in my wound it's sad but it's true
You warm me with your kissin' then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes, baby?
And I've never been told
You criticized my loving, oh, baby
Oh would you try, try and understand
[Outro]
You're pouring water, oh, yes, you are
You're pouring water, let me tell you 'bout myself right now
You're so mean
Meanest woman I've ever seen
You're so cold, yes you are
