Don't pretend you're sorry,
I know you're not.
You know you got the power,
To make me weak inside.

And girl you leave me breathless,
But it's ok.
'Cause you are my survival,
Now hear me say.

I can't imagine life without your love.
And even forever don't seem like long enough.

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in,
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it.
You keep me drowning in your love.

And every time I try to rise above,
I'm swept away by love.
Baby I can't help it,
You keep me drowning in your love.

Maybe I'm a drifter,
Maybe not.
'Cause I have known the safety,
Of falling free into your arms.

I don't need another lifeline,
It's not for me.
It's only you can save me.
Oh, can't you see?

I can't imagine life without your love.
And even forever don't seem like long enough.
(It don't seem like long enough, yeah)

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in,
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it.
You keep me drowning in your love.

And every time I try to rise above,
I'm swept away by love.
Baby I can't help it,
You keep me drowning in your love.

Go on pull me under.
Cover me with dreams.
You know I can't resist.
'Cause you're the air that I breathe!

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in,
(Every time I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it.
(Baby I can't help it)

You keep me drowning in your love.
And every time I try to rise above,
I'm swept away by love.
Baby I can't help it,
You keep me drowning in your loveâ?¦

Baby I can't help it,
You keep me drowning in your love.

Baby drowning.
(Ohâ?¦)
Got me drowning.
Keep me drowning in your love.

Baby I can't help it.
(Can't help it, can't help it no no.)
Got me drowning.

I can't imagine life without your love.
And even forever don't seem like long enough.

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in,
(I do)
And my heart beats again
(Oh yeah)

Baby I can't help it.
(Baby I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love.
And every time I try to rise above,

(Got me drowning)
I'm swept away by love.
Baby I can't help it,
You keep me drowning in your love.
