Pouring Water on a Drowning Man Songtext
von Percy Sledge

You trip me when I′m falling
You kicked me when I'm down
I think I missed my calling
I should have been a clown
How much tomorrow?
Can I stand?
You′re pouring water on a drowning man


You get me on a right track baby
Then you run me down oh, yes
You stab me in the back
Everything I turn around
Criticize my loving
When I'm doing the all I can
You're pouring water on a drowning man

You′re pouring water on a drowning man
When you treat me like the fool I am
You back that I′m to do you can you do
Salt in my words is done is true

Warm me your kisses
When you leave me in the cold
Oh, yes you do
How can I know you wishes?
Oh, I'm never told
Won′t you show a little mercy?
Can't you understand?
You′re pouring water on a drowning man
Oh, yeah.
