LIONEL RICHIE - It May Be The Water lyrics

rate me

I look at all the things I put you through

I've often wondered how it bothered you

I know how close I came to losing you

But we managed to stay alive

I guess only the strong survive

I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn ‘bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong

I took for granted that you'd always be there

I know it seemed at times I didn't care

I didn't know what you had given me

But with love it takes some time

But through the joy and pain, you're mine

I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn ‘bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong

It may be the water

That keeps us strong

You know that I'm so glad to say, oh baby

That it all turned out this way, ‘cause you know that

It almost slipped away, oh baby

But we managed to stay alive

I guess only the strong survive

I just gotta tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn ‘bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong

You know that I'm so glad to say, oh baby

That it all turned out this way, cause you know that

It almost slipped away, oh baby

But we managed to stay alive

I guess we found that only the strong survive

So I just had to tell you baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn ‘bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong

It may be the water

That keeps us strong
