Pouring Water On a Drowning Man Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
You push me when I'm 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?
You're pouring water on a drowning man

[Verse 2]
You put me on the right track and then you put me down
You stab me in the back every time I turn around
Criticize my loving when I'm doing the very best I can
You're pouring water on a drowning man

[Bridge]
You're pouring water on a drowning man
You treat me like the that fool I am
You brag that I like everything you do
Put salt in my wounds, it's sad but it's true

[Verse 3]
You warm me with your kisses, then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes when I've never been told?
Won't you please forgive me, just try and understand
You're pouring water on a drowning man

[Bridge]
You're pouring water on a drowning man
You treat me like the fool that I am
You brag that I like everything you do
Put salt in my wounds, it's sad but it's true
