Going Down For The Third Time

Supremes · Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland [1967]

Save me, save me



I'm goin' down, down for the third time



I'm goin' down, down for the third time



Drownin' in tears from my heart that's hurtin'



Drownin' in tears from a love that's uncertain



I'm lost in a world without your love



A sea of emptiness



The love we knew is bein' washed away



Don't think I can last, my heart is sinkin' fast



I'm goin' down, down for the third time



Tryin' to hold on to a love that's gone



Drownin' in the love that keeps me breathin'



Drownin' in the fear that my arms you're leavin'



Bring back that love we knew



Darlin' let me live again



A little tenderness to me start showin'



Fill my heart with love till it's overflowin'



I'm goin' down, down for the third time



Tryin' to hold on to a love that's gone



I'm goin' down, down for the third time



So once you save this heart of mine



Goin' down, down for the third time



Goin' down, down for the third time



I'm like a ship all alone on a ragin' sea



You got me tossin' and a-turnin' and I can't get free



Reach out your hand for me



Darlin' save what's left of our love



I'll forgive your lies and alibis



If you'll wipe my cryin' eyes



I'm goin' down, down for the third time



So won't you save this heart of mine



I've loved too long, I love too strong



Now little boy you know you're doin' me right



Come on and save me



Come on and save me



Come on and save me



I'm goin' down, down for the third time
