Throw Out The Lifeline

I know you think he’s just a fool
He’s nearly broken every rule
He don’t deny it isn’t so
He don’t know

He sits alone inside his room
Just reading books to pull him through
I know he’s thinking just of you
And it’s true [x2]

Throw out the lifeline
Baby won’t you be kind
Pull that man into that boat
Oh

He don’t believe but still he prays
Maybe your love could come his way
But you just go from place to place
Put pink powder on your face

Throw out the lifeline
Send out a good sign
Do what you can to save that boy
Oh

Throw out the lifeline
Baby won’t you be kind
Don’t be afraid to be yourself
Oh, oh
