It May Be The Water - Lionel Richie

I look at all the things I put you through

I’ve 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 by being a fool

I don’t know why, girl, we’ve lasted so long?

It may be the water that keeps us strong

I took for granted that you’d always be there

I know it seemed at times I didn’t care

I didn’t know what you had given me

But with love it takes some time

But through the joy and pain you’re mine

I just gotta tell you, baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn by being a fool

I don’t know why, girl, we’ve lasted so long?

It may be the water that keeps us strong

It may be the water that keeps us strong

You know that I’m 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 by being a fool

I don’t know why, girl, we’ve lasted so long?

It may be the water that keeps us strong

You know that I’m 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

So I just had to tell you, baby

Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn by being a fool

I don’t know why, girl, we’ve lasted so long?

It may be the water that keeps us strong

It may be the water

Keeps us strong

It may be the water

Keeps us strong

It may be the water

Keeps us strong
