It's been a whirlwind, that I'll admit The way we fell into each other, we fell fast in the rift Dragging each other deeper, before we learned to swim There was no relent, my dear, as we pulled each other in So, don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble Don't you let me drown And don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble Just 'cause I'm feelin' down I know I'm no saint, I'll be the first to admit I can be hard work, yeah, I will test your wits And then the heat becomes pain, and the ember returns to flame And the wind picks up what's left behind and throws 'em to fate on down the line Don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble Don't you let me drown Don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble But just 'cause I'm feelin' down Oh, talk to me Baby, tell me how you feel Go on, cry with me You gotta try and keep it real Yeah, talk to me Baby, tell me how you feel Come on, cry with me You gotta try and keep it real I don't know what book you've read that said it'd all be roses But, darlin', that is not life, that's a poet's prose, and I I will beg to keep the status quo, and I, I will beg for you not to go I'm down on me knees, don't you know, baby, that I love you so So, don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble Don't you let me drown Don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble Just 'cause I'm feelin' down Don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble Don't you let me drown Don't you leave me at the first sign of trouble Just 'cause I'm feelin' down
