Standin' in a Sea of Teardrops

(Bob McDill)



Standing in a sea of teardrops

It's getting deeper all the time

Standing in a sea of teardrops

And everyday I feel it rise.



For every bit of pain you've caused me

Another little tear falls down

Baby, if you hurt me one more time

Oh, I think I'm gonna drown.



--- Instrumental ---



Right from the start, I saw you

I couldn't resist you

I guess my heart somehow knew

The first time I kissed you.



But it wasn't long till you did me wrong

And I felt the first tears begin

Oh, but that seems so long ago

I've cried an ocean since then.



Now, I'm standing in a sea of teardrops

It's getting deeper all the time

Standing in a sea of teardrops

And everyday I feel it rise



For every bit of pain you've caused me

Another little tear falls down

Baby, if you hurt me one more time

Oh, I think I'm gonna drown.



--- Instrumental ---



So many times, oh, you know

I've tried to leave you

You say you've changed, foolish me

I always believed you.



Baby but then you hurt me again

And there's not a thing I can do

I'm sinking I know but I need you so

I guess I'll go down loving you.



'Cause I'm standing in a sea of teardrops

It's getting deeper all the time

Standing in a sea of teardrops

And everyday I feel it rise.



For every bit of pain you've caused me

Another little tear falls down

Baby, if you hurt me one more time

Oh, I think I'm gonna drown.



Baby, if you hurt me one more time

Oh, I think I'm gonna drown...
