Don't pretend you're sorry I know you're not You know you got the power To make me weak inside And girl you leave me breathless But it's ok 'Cause you are my survival Now hear me say I can't imagine life without your love And even forever don't seem like long enough 'Cause every time I breathe I take you in And my heart beats again Baby I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love And every time I try to rise above I'm swept away by love Baby I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love Maybe I'm a drifter Maybe not 'Cause I have known the safety Of falling free into your arms I don't need another lifeline It's not for me It's only you can save me Oh, can't you see? I can't imagine life without your love And even forever don't seem like long enough (It don't seem like long enough, yeah) 'Cause every time I breathe I take you in And my heart beats again Baby I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love And every time I try to rise above I'm swept away by love Baby I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love Go on pull me under Cover me with dreams You know I can't resist 'Cause you're the air that I breathe! 'Cause every time I breathe I take you in (Every time I breathe, yeah) And my heart beats again Baby I can't help it (Baby I can't help it) You keep me drowning in your love And every time I try to rise above I'm swept away by love Baby I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love Baby I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love Baby drowning (Ohâ?¦) Got me drowning Keep me drowning in your love Baby I can't help it (Can't help it, can't help it no no) Got me drowning I can't imagine life without your love And even forever don't seem like long enough 'Cause every time I breathe I take you in (I do) And my heart beats again (Oh yeah) Baby I can't help it (Baby I can't help it) You keep me drowning in your love And every time I try to rise above (Got me drowning) I'm swept away by love Baby I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love
