Lyrics
Shallow Water
Bob Sachnoff
Shallow water
You brought me to me knees, I came toy you with all my time
Still you look at me, Like everything all right
You said you'd go your own way to feed your appetite
well don't come crawling back my way, cause I'm off to a better life
you said all the life that I offered, you'd rather drown in the shallow water than try.
Chorus
Baby don't cry to me, try to pull me under
cause I'm not gonna drown in your shallow water
Baby its time to see.
All the thing you've done to me
cause I'm not gonna drown in your shallow water.
Verse 2
now the truth unfolds,If you think you can do better than me.
You know I'm standing tall, I'm feeling just fine without ya.
You said all the life that I offered you'd rather drown in the shallow water than try,
Chorus
