"Standin' in a Sea of Teardrops"

(Bob McDill)

Standing in a sea of teardrops
It’s getting deeper all the time
Standing in a sea of teardrops
And everyday I feel it rise.

For every bit of pain you’ve caused me
Another little tear falls down
Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I’m gonna drown.

--- Instrumental ---

Right from the start, I saw you
I couldn’t resist you
I guess my heart somehow knew
The first time I kissed you.

But it wasn’t long till you did me wrong
And I felt the first tears begin
Oh, but that seems so long ago
I’ve cried an ocean since then.

Now, I’m standing in a sea of teardrops
It’s getting deeper all the time
Standing in a sea of teardrops
And everyday I feel it rise

For every bit of pain you’ve caused me
Another little tear falls down
Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I’m gonna drown.

--- Instrumental ---

So many times, oh, you know
I’ve tried to leave you
You say you’ve changed, foolish me
I always believed you.

Baby but then you hurt me again
And there’s not a thing I can do
I’m sinking I know but I need you so
I guess I’ll go down loving you.

'Cause I’m standing in a sea of teardrops
It’s getting deeper all the time
Standing in a sea of teardrops
And everyday I feel it rise.

For every bit of pain you’ve caused me
Another little tear falls down
Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I’m gonna drown.

Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I’m gonna drown...
