[Verse 1]
What makes you sad, what makes you blue?
I'm all in rags with nothing to lose
We could traverse and find a way through
Land in the grass and start acting like fools
[Chorus]
You're a prisoner by day
Is that what you choose?
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight
[Verse 2]
Who did you razz? Who starts the coup?
Went on a fast with no weight to lose
You said you were layin' off of the booze
Came over drunk to lay on the truth
[Chorus]
You're a prisoner by day
Expecting to lose
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight
[Refrain]
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
[Verse 3]
You came in the front to sneak back in the room
With all of your friends and all attitude
Went into a lunge while playing it cool
You said, "Come here close and I'll lay on the truth"
[Chorus]
You're a prisoner by day
Expecting to lose
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight
[Refrain]
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
[Chorus]
You're a prisoner by day
Is that what you choose?
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight
