It May Be The Water Lyrics
Lionel Richie
I look at all the things I put you through
Ive 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 dont know why, girl, weve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
I took for granted that youd always be there
I know it seemed at times I didnt care
I didnt know what you had given me
But with love it takes some time
But through the joy and pain, youre mine
I just gotta tell you baby
Sometimes love can be so cruel
Sometimes we learn bout being a fool
I dont know why, girl, weve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
You know that Im 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 dont know why, girl, weve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
You know that Im 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 dont know why, girl, weve lasted so long
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
It may be the water
That keeps us strong
