Pouring Water on a Drowning Man — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

You push me when Im falling

And then you put me down

I guess I missed my calling

I should have been a clown



How much more

How much more can I stand

Youre pouring water

On a drowning man



You put me on the right track

And then you put me down

You stab me in the back

Everytime I turn around



Criticize my lovin

When Im doing the very best I can

Youre pouring water

On a drowning man

Youre pouring water

On a drowning man

You treat me like

The fool that I am

You bet that I like everything you do

Put salt in my wounds

Its sad but its true



You warm me with your kisses

Then you leave me in the cold

How can I know your wishes

When Ive never been told

Wont you please forgive me

Just try and understand

Youre pouring water

On a drowning man



Youre pouring water

On a drowning man

You treat me like

The fool that I am

You bet that I like everything you do

Put salt in my wounds

Its sad but its true



You warm me with your kisses

Then you leave me in the cold

How can I know your wishes

When Ive never been told

Wont you please forgive me

Just try and understand

Youre pouring water

On a poor drowning man



I got tears in my eyes

Oh, Im a drowning man

I got tears in my eyes

Youre pouring water

On a drowing man

Youre pouring water

On a poor drowning man
