Overboard
Justin Bieber · My World 2.0 [2010]
So back and forth that's how it seems, Woah,
And when I wanna talk you say to me,
That if it's meant to be it will be, Woah no,
So crazy is this thing we call love,
And now that we've got it we just can't give up,
I'm reaching out for you,
Got me out here in the water and I,
I'm overboard,
And I need your love,
Pull me up,
I can't swim on my own,
It's too much,
Feels like I'm drowning without your love,
So throw yourself out to me,
My lifesaver,
Lifesaver,
Oh lifesaver,
My lifesaver
Lifesaver,
Oh lifesaver,
Oh Woah no,
Never understood you when you say, Woah,
Wanted me to meet you half way, Woah,
Felt like I was doing my part,
You kept thinking you were coming up short,
It's funny how things change,
Coz now I see, Oh Woah,
So crazy is this thing we call love,
And now that we've got it we just can't give up,
I'm reaching out for you,
Got me out here in the water and I,
I'm overboard,
And I need your love,
Pull me up,
I can't swim on my own,
It's too much,
Feels like I'm drowning without your love,
So throw yourself out to me,
My lifesaver,
It's suppose to be some give and take I know,
But you're only taking and not giving anymore,
So what do I do? (What do I do?)
Coz I still love you (Still love you baby)
And you're the only one who can save me,
Oh Woah,
Oh Woah,
Oh Woah,
Ohhh,
I'm overboard,
And I need your love,
Pull me up,
I can't swim on my own,
It's too much,
Feels like I'm drowning without your love,
So throw yourself out to me,
My lifesaver,
Lifesaver,
Oh lifesaver,
My lifesaver,
Lifesaver,
Oh lifesaver,
Oh lifesaver,
Oh lifesaver,
My lifesaver,
Lifesaver,
Oh lifesaver,
Ohh yeah
