[Chorus]
Can't you see, you're in quicksand
It's gonna take more than a hand to pull you out
It's like drowning on dry land
You keep sinking—deeper, deeper!
And the more you're tryna fight, you keep getting weaker

[Refrain]
There's only one way to do right
Is to leave it all alone
Anything worth having, it won't come easy
And if it do, boy—pass it on

[Chorus]
You're in quicksand
It's gonna take more than a hand to pull you out
You keep sinking—deeper, deeper!
And the more you try to fight, you keep getting weaker

[Refrain]
There's only one way to do right
Is to leave, leave it all alone
Anything worth having, it won't come easy
And if it do, you'd better pass it on

[Outro]
(Awh!) Quicksand!
(Ooh!) You're in Quicksand!
That's something -- quicksand!
(Ooo Oooh!) Quicksand!
(Hey!)
Oh, boy, you've got yourself in a world of trouble
Trouble
(Yeah)
