[Verse 1]
I see them come, I see them go
Been coming here since I don't know
Come to play, here to talk?
Or are they here to simply show?
Sense of danger, bunch of strangers
Simply staring 'cross the room
Pretty soon they'll taste the water
And it ought to change their tune
Shut the doors, the room is full
And nobody leaves at all
Until the sun comes out to play
Until then we blow ourselves away
At the markets of Gibraltar
They lock up your sons and daughters
But the reason they come back
Is what's been pouring out the tap
[Hook]
There's something in the water (like oh!)
I think there's something in the water (like oh!)
I try to stop me drinking it, but now I come to think of it
There's something in the water I can't say no
There's something in the water (like oh!)
I think there's something in the water (like oh!)
I try to stop me drinking it, but now I come to think of it
There's something in the water I can't say no
[Bridge]
I'm downing it, she downing it
We drown ourselves in love
Hit the town and it's astounding, it
She fits me like a glove
I'm downing it, she downing it
We drown ourselves in love
And love tastes good to me today
[Verse 2]
I see them laugh, I see them cry
Been coming here since days gone by
Come to fight, here to shout
Or are they here to simply pout
Lack of passion, only fashion
People glancing 'cross the room
Pretty soon they'll taste the water
And it ought to change their tune
They take a sip and lick their lips
Start to shake their hips
Dance the night away
The gangsters put their knives away
The water drowns the fights away
I'm really liking life today
But don't let it confuse you
When they wake, they'll all be back to usual
[Hook]
There's something in the water (like oh!)
I think there's something in the water (like oh!)
I try to stop me drinking it, but now I come to think of it
There's something in the water I can't say no
There's something in the water (like oh!)
I think there's something in the water (like oh!)
I try to stop me drinking it, but now I come to think of it
There's something in the water I can't say no
[Bridge]
I'm downing it, she downing it
We drown ourselves in love
Hit the town and it's astounding, it
She fits me like a glove
I'm downing it, she downing it
We drown ourselves in love
And love tastes good to me today
[Verse 3]
(Yo) Wanna lose your marbles?
Step to the bar, smile at the bar girl
Ask for the glass of the tasty water
They only sell at the markets of Gibraltar
It'll be sure to sort ya
Nights get longer, days get shorter
Don't ask questions, let's just knock it back
Say goodbye to tension
[Hook]
There's something in the water (like oh!)
I think there's something in the water (like oh!)
I try to stop me drinking it, but now I come to think of it
There's something in the water I can't say no
There's something in the water (like oh!)
I think there's something in the water (like oh!)
I try to stop me drinking it, but now I come to think of it
There's something in the water I can't say no
There's something in the water (like oh!)
I think there's something in the water (like oh!)
I try to stop me drinking it, but now I come to think of it
There's something in the water I can't say no
