You're Pouring Water on a Drowning Man

You tripped me when I'm falling
 You kick me when I'm down
 I think I miss my calling
 I should have been a clown
 How much more can I stand?
 You're pouring water on a drowning man
 You get me on the right track, baby
 And then you run me down, oh, yes, you do
 You stab me in the back, trust yeah
 Every time I turn around
 Criticizin' my loving when I'm doing all I can
 You're pouring water on a drowning man
 You're pouring water on a drowning man
 When you treat me like the fool I am
 You bragged that I'll take anything you do
 Salt in my wound, this lie and this truth
 You warm me with your kisses, baby
 Then you leave me in the cold, oh-yes, you do
 How can I know your wishes? Yeah
 When I've never been told
 Won't you show a little mercy?
 Can't you understand?
 You're pouring water on a drowning man
 You're pouring water on a drowning man
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah
