Like Running Water
[Verse 1]
Here I am on my job
Tryin' to work
But the tears in my eyes
Won't let me hide the hurt
I wonder where you are, baby
But I know what you are doing (You don't treat)
If you don't treat me, baby (It's on you)
Your love's gonna be my rueing (Woah-woah)
I pretend that I'm sick (Woah-woah)
So I can leave and look for you (Woah-woah)
Why don't you come on home, baby (Woah-woah)
And stop makin' me blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Tear down the damn you build between us
And let your love for me flow
[Chorus]
Like running water (Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Let it flow, baby (Let it flow, lеt it flow, let it flow)
Let it flow, baby, oh-oh (Just let it flow)
[Verse 2]
Hеre I am with the phone
Giving you another call
But the phone just rings and rings
I guess you just don't care at all
'Cause again you're not home, baby
Like so many times before (If you don't stop)
If you don't stop doggin' me around, baby
(I'm gonna have to let you go) Gonna have to let you go
(Woah-woah-woah-woah) My heart is a lonely world
(Woah-woah-woah-woah) Without your love every night
(Woah-woah-woah-woah) You gonna make me do wrong, baby
(Woah-woah-woah-woah) If you don't do right
[Pre-Chorus]
So tear down the damn you build between us
And let your sweet love for me flow
[Chorus]
Like running water (Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Woah, let it flow, baby (Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Let it flow, baby, woo
(Just let it flow) Let it flow
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, honey
Why can't you love me, baby
Oh!
[Bridge]
(Woah-woah) Knowin' you with someone else
(Woah-woah) Ooh baby, it hurts me so
(Woah-woah) Why don't you just love me, baby
(Woah-woah) Like you did before
[Pre-Chorus]
Tear down the damn you build
So your sweet love for me can flow
[Chorus]
Like running water (Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Woah, let it flow, baby (Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Let it flow, baby, and oh-oh (Just let it flow)
[Verse 3]
Woah, baby
Woah-woah-oh-oh, baby
See, I need you, darling
Where are you, baby?
I think I know what you are doing, baby
Your sweet love gonna be my ruin
Listen, baby
Do you know what you doin' to me, darlin'?
You gonna destroy a good man, baby
Woah, I search the street at night
Lookin' for someone to make me feel alright
But you see, I cannot love someone else
When I need you, baby
How can I kiss someone else?
When I need you, baby
Oh, how can I love someone else, now?
When I love you, baby
Woah baby, baby, yeah-heah
Come on, baby, woah
I heard someone say once upon a time
They said what
A-you can't love the one you
Love the one you with
But I don't need nobody but you, baby
I don't want nobody but you, now
I just can't love nobody but you
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby
No, baby
Why don't you love me, baby?
Baby, baby, baby
Ooh, baby
Come on back home, baby
Where you belong, baby
[Verse 4]
I get, I just can't wait
For you to walk your fine sweet self through that door
And grab me in your arms and
And kinda squeeze me like you did before
You can, you can lay your head on the ground, baby
And you'll hear my heart beatin', listen
The beat is gettin' stronger, baby
It's gettin' stronger
(The beat is gettin' stronger) It's gettin' stronger
Oh-ho, heat it up (The beat is gettin' stronger)
Say it on, heat it up (The beat is gettin' stronger)
I'm heated out on you, baby (The beat is gettin' stronger)
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Heat it up
Yeah, you've been drivin' me too fast, baby (The beat is gettin' stronger)
I don't know how long we gonna last (The beat is gettin' stronger)
Oh, baby (The beat is gettin' stronger)
Oh-ho (The beat is gettin' stronger)
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Yow!
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Yow!
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Come on home, babe
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Come on home, baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Come on home, baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Yeah!
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Baby, baby-baby-baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Baby-baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Let it flow
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Let it flow
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Not like a bridge over troubled water, baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Yeah
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Let it flow like running water, baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Yow!
[Outro]
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Come on home, baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Come on home, baby
(The beat is gettin' stronger) Come on home, baby
