Lyrics
Man Overboard Stop Rockin My Boat
©Robin OHerin 2008
I
In over my head, sinking fast, I was looking for a love,
that would last,
Well, You come around with your sweet-talking ways,
And you want my nights and all of my days.
CHORUS
And I Don't even know how I can stay afloat,
Man overboard, boy, stop rocking my boat.
I hear your voice, telling me lies,
Still, I keep on sinking when I look in your eyes.
Look in your eyes
II
You say that you know you can make it right
Sol, I want to know where you been last night.
Well, ou know that I know we can't go on this way
There's just too much heartache and I just can't stay.
CHORUS
And I Don't even see how I can stay afloat,
Man overboard, boy, stop rocking my boat.
I hear your voice, telling me lies,
Still, I keep on sinking when I look in your eyes.
Look in your eyes
Bridge
There's a little too much sorrow, a little too much pain
A little too much of nothing making me insane
And I got up this morning had the blues in my bed,
Why can't I keep you out of my head
Don't even know how I can stay afloat,
Man overboard, boy, stop rocking my boat.
I hear your voice, telling me lies,
Still I keep on drowning when I look in your eyes.
Don't even know how I can stay afloat,
Man overboard, boy, stop rocking my boat.
rocking my boat. Rocking my boat.
Rocking my boat.
