I went down to the river
  Just to see if it would rain
  I looked down in the water
  I could not believe my eyes
  A face and a reflection
  Was staring back at me ahah
  And it scares me just to think
  About the power that this woman has on me

  Help me now
  Help me now

  I should have known that was a sign
  But I couldn't see the weather
  That woman almost made me blind
  I wanted her to love me
  Now all I want is to be free
  And it scares me just to think

  I'll do anything I can
  Just to keep from drowning
  Lord I need a helping hand
  Help me now
  Help me now

  But the water's dark and cold
  I see your face
  And I'm afraid this time
  That I will lose my soul

  Help me
  Help me now
  
  Just to keep from drowning
  I get down on my knees to pray
  Just to keep from drowning
  I'll do anything you say
  Help me now
  Help me please
  
  What else's gonna save me from drowning here
  Just to deliver me
  Keep from drowning
  I get on my knees to pray
  Just to free my soul
  Just to keep from dro
