You ain't nothin' but trouble, far as I can tell   Just a wasted wish in the wishin' well   But you don't know, I've been here before   I'm just one too many miles from shore      And I'm takin' on water and I'm goin' down   Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now   Takin' on water with only one way out   I gotta get my heart to higher ground      Oh, I'm already in, in too deep   I know you won't be there to rescue me   I'm already feel it, right through my chest   I'm afraid if I taste it, I might not catch my breath      And I'm takin' on water and I'm goin' down   Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now   Takin' on water with only one way out   I gotta get my heart to higher ground      Why is a woman always thinkin'   Just because a man is sinkin'   He's gonna drown      But I'm takin' on water, goin' down   Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now   Takin' on water, there's only one way out   I gotta get my heart to higher ground      And I'm takin' on water, goin' down   Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now   Takin' on water with only one way out   I gotta get my heart to higher ground      Takin' on water, goin' down   Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now   Takin' on water with only one way out   I gotta get my heart to higher ground      Takin' on water, goin' down   Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now   Takin' on water with only one way out
