Swim the River

I'm not good at saving

But I'm good at holding on

Like the way the sparkle

Never leaves her eye

I'm not good at leaving

But I'm good at getting gone

And I'm giving all I have

To get me by

Lady

Take me by the hand

You know I'm doing what I gotta do

To make you understand

Lady

I'll give it all I can

Yes, I'd swim the river up and back

If it'll make me your man

Oh, I'd swim the river up and back

If it'll make me your man

I'm not good at talking

But I'm good at speaking up

Telling Mom and Pa just how it is

I'm no good at joking

But I'm good at cracking up

So kick your shoes up on the bank

And jump right in

Lady

Take me by the hand

You know I'm doing what I gotta do

To make you understand

Lady

I'll give it all I can

I swear I'd swim the river up and back

If it'll make me your man

Oh I'd swim the river up and back

If it'll make me your man

I'm not good at aiming

But I'm taking every shot

Pointing my red arrow at your heart

I'm no good at swimming

But I'll give it all I got

Till I finally float away

Inside your arms

Lady

Take me by the hand

You know I'm doing

What I gotta do

To make you understand

Lady

I'll give it all I can

I swear I'd swim the river up and back

If it would make me your man

Oh I'd swim the river up and back

If it would make me your man

Oh I'd swim the river up and back

If it would make me your man
