"Keepin' My Head Above Water" lyrics

"Keepin' My Head Above Water"

Once I was content living alone
Buildin' a wall around my heart
With no one to be responsible to
Love can upset your applecart

Why do I
Keep reachin' out to see if you're there
Who's this guy
Got me sittin' on the edge of my chair

I'm barely keepin' my head above water
Fightin' for control of my mind
Oh, I just can't believe
That love's got me in a bind
You see, I'm keepin' my head above water
Like I always swore that I would
But when love's got you, girl
It's got you, baby, for good

Life used to be fine
I would wake up
Only one coffee cup to fill
Simple and free
No one botherin' me
I was a one man band until

You came in
And nothin's ever been quite the same
You came in
And now I can't remember my name

I'm barely keepin' my head above water
Fightin' for control of my mind
Oh, I just can't believe
That love's got me in a bind
You see, I'm keepin' my head above water
Like I always swore that I would
But when love's got you, girl
It's got you, baby, for good

Oh, I'm keepin' my head above water
Fighting for control of my mind
Oh, I just can't believe
That love's got me in a bind
You see, I'm keepin' my head above water
Like I always swore that I would
But when love's got you, hey
It's got you for good...
