Funny how a blessing feels just like a curse Bad love hurts, but somehow good love hurts me worse 'Cause lately I'm mistaken honey for the bees Having troubles sleeping with you next to me I sink in you like water Pray you won't pull me under One look and I die, heaven in your eyes Helt hard in the white light I dive in you like water I sink like a stone Stone, in your water Stone, in your water Stone, in your water Stone, in your water Be gentle with me Have patience with me, oh 'Cause I've been in the corner of my mind that tells me I'm not good enough for anybody like you Help me out, you know I need you like water Stone, in your water Stone, in your water Stone, in your water Stone, in your water
