[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus]
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
[Verse 1]
I've been here so very long
I've lost all my direction
But baby, when you came my way
I thought I found perfection
[Pre-Chorus]
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
And I can't seem to control these tears
Falling from my eyes
[Chorus]
I've been down one time
I've been down two times
But I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
[Verse 2]
You know that I depend on you
For our love's navigation
But now that you've deserted me
I'm in desperation
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
It really took me by surprise
I look around and all I see
Is water coming over me
[Chorus]
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But I'm drowning, hear me
Drowning in the sea of love
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
[Bridge 1]
Drowning, you know I'm drowning
(Without your love, without your love, hey, hey)
(Without your love, without your love)
I'm going down for the last time

[Chorus]
(One time, two times)
(Drowning, drowning in the sea of love)
(One time, two times)
I'm going down two times
(Drowning) Drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
[Chorus]
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Whoa!
