Drowning Lyrics - 'cause I Sez So - New York Dolls

I swam out too far from the shore 

Afraid you won't see me anymore 

Out in the middle of a rolling sea 

With the waves and the water washing over me 

Mama! 

Don't let me down 

I love you more than I did before 

So don't let me drown 

I'm drowning in this sea of love 

Can't see the land or the sky above 

Hurry up, baby, get a hold of me 

'Fore the devil in this water set my soul free 

Mama! 

Don't let me drown 

If I still mean anything to you 

Don't let me down 

Mama! 

I'm drowning 

I'm not waving hello 

I ain't clowning around wit'cha, baby 

Don't let me go 

If you see me lost and drifting around 

Reach out for me, don't let me pull you down 

It's over my head, mama, don't let me drown 

It's getting so quiet I can't hear a... 

MAMA! 

Don't let me drown 

You swim so much better than me 

Don't let me drown 

Yeah, mama! 

Don't let me drown 

Yeah, mama! 

Mama! 

Don't let me drown...
