It May Be The Water

I look at all the things I put you throughI've often wondered how it bothered youI know how close I came to losing youBut we managed to stay aliveI guess only the strong surviveI just gotta tell you babySometimes love can be so cruelSometimes we learn ‘bout being a foolI don't know why, girl, we've lasted so longIt may be the waterThat keeps us strongI took for granted that you'd always be thereI know it seemed at times I didn't careI didn't know what you had given meBut with love it takes some timeBut through the joy and pain, you're mineI just gotta tell you babySometimes love can be so cruelSometimes we learn ‘bout being a foolI don't know why, girl, we've lasted so longIt may be the waterThat keeps us strongIt may be the waterThat keeps us strongYou know that I'm so glad to say, oh babyThat it all turned out this way, ‘cause you know thatIt almost slipped away, oh babyBut we managed to stay aliveI guess only the strong surviveI just gotta tell you babySometimes love can be so cruelSometimes we learn ‘bout being a foolI don't know why, girl, we've lasted so longIt may be the waterThat keeps us strongYou know that I'm so glad to say, oh babyThat it all turned out this way, cause you know thatIt almost slipped away, oh babyBut we managed to stay aliveI guess we found that only the strong surviveSo I just had to tell you babySometimes love can be so cruelSometimes we learn ‘bout being a foolI don't know why, girl, we've lasted so longIt may be the waterThat keeps us strongIt may be the waterThat keeps us strong
