Lifeguard - The Jam

we started of so good
we were honestly happy
you use to tell me i was beautiful
where did it all go wrong
i can't believe
there's nothing left for saving
how'd it go from being in love
to being alone
it's like swimming on forever
but it's moving us downstream
we can't win together
we're no longer in the same team
so you can watch my great escape tonight

makes me wonder
what's the use of all this
what else can we call this
such a complicated love
makes me wonder
what's the point of crying
past the point of trying
i'm afraid that there's no saving us

baby i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be the lifeguard
no body can save us now
baby i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be the lifeguard
no body can save us now
we're drowning

right when you walk inside
no hello when you see me
you're on the phone
talking to your boys
we don't even speak two words
it's like a chore
to get a hey baby from you
i don't know
what happened to you and i

whoa
see i don't want to be the one
that would regret
thought about it
finally i'm taking my deep breath
before i step outside you tonight

makes me wonder
what's the use of all this
what else can we call this
such a complicated love
makes me wonder
what's the point of crying
past the point of trying
i'm afraid that there's no saving us

baby i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be the lifeguard
no body can save us now
baby i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be the lifeguard
no body can save us now
we're drowning

i can't find the raft to keep this love afloat
where did it go
there's no need for searching and rescue no more
no more
it's so long for hope its washed up for the shore
baby it's happening
we both moved on
cos we've been drowning out for too long

makes me wonder
what's the use of all this
what else can we call this
such a complicated love
makes me wonder
what's the point of crying
past the point of trying
i'm afraid that there's no saving us

baby i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be the lifeguard
no body can save us now
baby i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be your lifeguard
we're drowning
i can't be the lifeguard
no body can save us now
we're drowning
