Keepin' My Head Above Water

(album: Love At First Sight - 1977)

Once I was content living alone
Building a wall around my heart
With no one to be responsible to
Love can upset your applecart

Why do I
Keep reaching out to see if you're there
Who's this guy
Got me sitting on the edge of my chair

I'm barely keeping my head above water
Fighting for control of my mind
Oh, I just can't believe
That love's got me in a bind
You see, I'm keeping my head above water
Like I always swore that I would
But when love's got you, girl
It's got you, baby, for good

Life used to be fine
I would wake up
Only one coffee cup to fill
Simple and free
No one bothering me
I was a one man band until

You came in
And nothin's ever been quite the same
You came in
And now I can't remember my name

I'm barely keeping my head above water
Fighting for control of my mind
Oh, I just can't believe
That love's got me in a bind
You see, I'm keeping my head above water
Like I always swore that I would
But when love's got you, girl
It's got you, baby, for good

Oh, I'm keeping my head above water
Fighting for control of my mind
Oh, I just can't believe
That love's got me in a bind
You see, I'm keeping my head above water
Like I always swore that I would
But when love's got you, hey
It's got you for good...
