if you got something that you just can't change
and it seams to be real and it seams to be strange
it might be time for you to rearrange
if you're stuck in the mud there's only you to blame
now the water just keeps creeping in
get sucked down 'cause you can't swim
what ever you do wow don't you give in
you're drifting, floating, falling, sinking
if you got money but your money can't buy
shoes with wings that can send you fly
birdy falls from heaven way up in the sky
this little birdy's gotta try try try
now the water just keeps creeping in
get sucked under 'cause you just can't swim
what ever you do wow don't you give in
you're drifting, floating, falling, sinking
yeah, you're drifting, floating, sinking
drifting, falling, floating
your're drifting, falling, sinking
oooh, oooh
oooh, oooh
oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
now the water just keeps sinking in
get sucked under 'cause you just can't swim
what ever you do wow don't you give in
you're drifting, floating, falling, sinking
it's funny how somebody's got you screwed
feet are nailed and glued and you just can't move
it's funny how that somebody is you
and you find nothing else 'cause there's nothing else to do
if you got money but your money won't buy
shoes with wings that can send you fly
birdy falls from heaven way up in the sky
this little birdy's gotta try try try
if you got a honey but your honey ain't right
burns you up inside keeps you up all night
sometimes in love baby it just ain't high
'cause there's nothing that's real there's nothing that's right
