Ocean Of Tears

Mama, mama save your drowning child

Oh, won't somebody please save a drowning child
Won't somebody please save a drowning child

I've been treated so bad by my lover
Nobody knows my problems and fears
Every night I cry like a drowning child
Sleep in an ocean of tears

Oh somebody hear my plea
Oh somebody save poor me

Well I'm thinking about going to the river
But the river won't drown my tears
Every night I cry like a drowning child
Sleep in an ocean of tears

And I say:
Oh, I never did you no wrong
Oh, I never did you no wrong

Yeah, I'm a young girl that's got some problems
Nobody knows my troubles and fears

Every night I cry like a drowning child
Sleep in an ocean of tears

Now, now, now
Oh somebody hear my plea

Oh somebody save poor me
Save me

Solos
Well I'm Thinking about going to the river
But the river won't drown my tears
Every night I cry like a drowning child,
Sleep in an ocean of tears

And I say:
Oh, I never did you no wrong
Oh, I never did you no wrong

Yeah, I'm a young girl that's had some problems
Nobody knows my troubles and fears
Every night I cry like a drowning child
Sleep in an ocean of tears

Now, now, now
Oh somebody hear my plea
Oh somebody save poor me
Come on save poor me
Come on save poor me
Come on save poor me
Come on save poor me
