When I saw her, I dived right in,
Forgot that, I couldn't swim,
But now, I can plainly see,
She was too far out for me,

And I can't seem to keep my head above water,
Can't do the things a guy ought to do,
No, I can't seem to keep my head above water,
Can't do the things a guy ought to do,

Now I see another girl, shes got my hair in a whirl,
Pull me out before I sink,
I'm all washed up in a brink,

*And I can't seem to keep my head above water,
Can't do the things a guy ought to do,
No, I can't seem to keep my head above water,
Can't do the things a guy ought to do,

If you go down to the ocean, don't go in to deep,
Don't let the water level, rise above your feet,

(Repeat from the * onwards 3 times)
