Sink or Swim

[Verse 1]

Feel like I done run out of my luck

Damn, this love shit one hell of a drug

I been trippin', deep down in my feelings

Tryna turn your house to my home

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, what's up? Feelin' rushed?

Did I call at a bad time?

Yeah, I can tell in your tone you're ashamed, tellin' more lies

I been up all night at home, tell me where you been

Never thought I'd be the one who be callin' friends

But I guess it's true, I'm stuck on you

Don't know what to do

[Chorus]

I'm goin' down, down

I can't get up (I can't get up)

You be the reason why I never give my trust

And it hurts so bad

Tell me how to stand whеn the tide comes in

I'm tryin', but it's hard

Lovе is sink or swim

I'm goin' down, down

I can't get up (I can't get up)

You be the reason why I never give my trust

And it hurts so bad

Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in

I'm tryin', but it's hard

Love is sink or swim

[Verse 2]

It's sink or swim

Emotions, they all in the wind

I won't pretend, you can't even trust your friends

Could've did it, but never did it

Boy, seems like you love doin' me wrong

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, what's up? Feelin' rushed?

Did I call at a bad time?

Yeah, I can tell in your tone you're ashamed, tellin' more lies

I been up all night at home, tell me where you been

Never thought I'd be the one who be callin' friends

But I guess it's true, I'm stuck on you

Don't know what to do

[Chorus]

I'm goin' down, down

I can't get up (I can't get up)

You be the reason why I never give my trust

And it hurts so bad

Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in

I'm tryin', but it's hard

Love is sink or swim

I'm goin' down, down

I can't get up (I can't get up)

You be the reason why I never give my trust

And it hurts so bad

Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in

I'm tryin', but it's hard

Love is sink or swim

[Bridge]

You don't understand what my mind's thinkin'

Tell me that I'm crazy, tell me that I'm trippin'

Tears in my eyes, what am I missin'?

Used to be the one that you wanted, oh, damn

Got me singin' this song since you left me alone

You just do what you want and I'll try to move on

Pain in my heart, I'm takin' a loss

Boy, your love cost too much

And I'm broken

[Chorus]

I'm goin' down, down

I can't get up (I can't get up)

You be the reason why I never give my trust

And it hurts so bad

Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in

I'm tryin', but it's hard

Love is sink or swim (Sink or swim)

I'm goin' down, down

I can't get up (I can't get up)

You be the reason why I never give my trust (The reason, the reason, the reason)

And it hurts so bad

Tell me how to stand when the tide comes in

I'm tryin', but it's hard

Love is sink or swim

[Outro: Mary J. Blige]

When your heart gets broken, it seems like everything is wrong

Everything is failing

You can't work, you can't sleep

You can't think, you can't eat

And it's not even you, it's this person that's not ready

And you're beautiful and you deserve better

That's my only thing I can say to you, sis

Guard that heart
