Oh, won't somebody please save a drowning child Won't somebody please save a drowning child
I've been treated so bad by my lover Nobody knows my problems and fears Every night I cry like a drowning child Sleep in an ocean of tears
Oh somebody hear my plea Oh somebody save poor me
Well I'm thinking about going to the river But the river won't drown my tears Every night I cry like a drowning child Sleep in an ocean of tears
And I say: Oh, I never did you no wrong Oh, I never did you no wrong
Yeah, I'm a young girl that's got some problems Nobody knows my troubles and fears
Every night I cry like a drowning child Sleep in an ocean of tears
Now, now, now Oh somebody hear my plea
Oh somebody save poor me Save me
SOLOS Well I'm Thinking about going to the river But the river won't drown my tears Every night I cry like a drowning child, Sleep in an ocean of tears
And I say: Oh, I never did you no wrong Oh, I never did you no wrong
Yeah, I'm a young girl that's had some problems Nobody knows my troubles and fears Every night I cry like a drowning child Sleep in an ocean of tears
Now, now, now Oh somebody hear my plea Oh somebody save poor me Come on save poor me Come on save poor me Come on save poor me Come on save poor me
