lyrics

The first time that I saw her I was knocked right out
but way back in my mind I still had my doubts
'cause I'd heard all the stories and I understood
in spite of all her beauty she was still no good

Well I guess that more than once she had me thinkin' twice
and I'm not one to disregard a friend's advice
but stories often spread like ripples on a brook
so I stepped in myself to take a closer look

Sink or Swim I've fallen in who's gonna throw the line
how long can I last when I'm sinkin' fast
I think I'm gonna lose my mind

We sailed the sea of love and she called me honey
and then she turned her back on me and kept my money
just like some kind of rock she went and put me down
she said "You're too dense to float and I'm too young to drown"

Sink or Swim I've fallen in who's gonna throw the line
how long can I last when I'm sinkin' fast
I think I'm gonna lose my mind

Well I'd be high and dry if I had time to think
but fools like me were meant to wind up in the drink
I could scream and shout but it won't do no good
'cause I can't swim and everybody knew I would
Sink or Swim I've fallen in who's gonna throw the line
how long can I last when I'm sinkin' fast
I think I'm gonna lose my mind
