I thought it was infatuation

I couldn't burn the bridges behind me

Hit a day and go tomorrow

Never thinking love would find me

Now I see it's love I'm after

My cold shoulder was a disaster 'cause

Love is like quicksand

I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby

But the mountain of my mistakes

Is looking steeper and steeper

I always thought when it came to loving

That it was a case of take it or leave it

So I tossed it off as usual

Your love came, I couldn't believe it

So like a child who plays with fire

I'm going under in my own desire 'cause

Love is like quicksand

I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby

But the mountain of my mistakes

Is looking steeper and steeper

Can't you see I'm sinking, baby?

Come on, help me now

Come on, help me now

This is more than just flirtation

Say it's not a hopeless situation 'cause

Love is like quicksand

I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby

But the mountain of my mistakes

Are looking steeper and steeper

Love is like quicksand

I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby

But the mountain of my mistakes

Is looking steeper and steeper

Love is like quicksand

I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby

But the mountain of my mistakes

Is looking steeper and steeper

Love is like quicksand

I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby

But the mountain of my mistakes

Are looking steeper and steeper, baby
