Betty Wright - Deep Water Lyrics

Deep Water

I went swimming
But the water was too deep
Now I'm drowning
And there ain't a soul around to rescue me
There must've been some kind of warning sign
Had my eyes wide open but I couldn't see
Maybe baby I've gone blind

CHORUS
Well I'm in deep water now
I've got to find safe ground somehow
I think I'd better backstroke
Cause I'm tired of getting my heart broke
I'm in deep water n0w
So deep
Too deep

So good lookin
I had to try it and see
I got took in
Now no one can save me but me
I did not see no kind of warning signs
I thought with my heart
This one thought to make you mine

CHORUS
Well I'm in deep water now
I've got to find safe ground somehow
I think I'd better backstroke
Cause I'm tired of getting my heart broke
I'm in deep water now
So deep
Too deep

BRIDGE
I thought I had the strength and will
To keep some sort of pride
But your love gave me a chill
That's why I miss it
Cuz I can measure
Ain't no need in one woman
Drowning in so much pleasure

Well I'm in deep water now
Gotta get back to land but I just don't know now
Wonder can I backstroke
tired of getting my heart broke
I'm in deep water now
In too deep

Anybody seen a lifeguard
