O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep
And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Many's the time I've asked you to say
Why do you feel so bad day to day?
Could it be you're wrong to push yourself alone
I'd say it's not a guess, you make yourself a mess
And get yourself in deeper water

Why do you think it's all wrong for you?
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby, it's alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta

O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, because it's dirty, dirty water
Oh-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Why do you think it's all wrong for you?
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby, it's alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in
O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep
And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep.....
