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...
