I've been down one time 
And I've been down two times 
But right now I'm drowning 
Drowning in the sea of love 
I've been out here so very long 
I done lost all my direction 
Baby, when you came my way 
Thought I had found my protection 
But a strong wind came into my life 
It surely took me by surprise 
I can't seem to control these tears 
That's falling from my eyes 
I've been down one time 
And I've been down two times 
But right now I'm drowning 
Drowning in the sea of love 
Sea of love 
Baby, I depended on you 
For the love navigation 
But now you've gone and deserted me 
Can't you see that I'm in desperation 
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm 
And it's bad as it can be 
I look around, all I can see 
Is water coming down over me 
I've been down one time 
And I've been down two times 
But right now I'm drowning 
Drowning in the sea of love 
Sea of love, sea of love 
I've been down one time 
And I've been down two times 
But right now I'm drowning 
Drowning in the sea of love 
Sea of love 
But right now I'm just drowning 
Drowning in the sea of love 
A sea of love, sea of love
