Paroles Goin' Down de Monkees (The)

Textes et Paroles de Goin' Down

Sock it to me...
Floatin' in the river,
With a saturated liver,
And I wish I could forgiver her,
But I do believe she meant it,
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it,
When they find me in the morning,
Wet and drowned,
And the world gets round,
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down.
I'm coming up for air;
It's pretty stuffy under there,
I'd like to say I didn't care,
But I forgot to leave a note,
And it's so hard to stay afloat,
I'm soakin' wet without a boat,
And I knew I should have,
Taken off my shoes,
It's front page news,
Goin' down, goin' down.
I wish I had another drink;
It wouldn't be so hard to sink,
I should have taken time to think;
Besides I got the picture straight,
She must've had another date;
I didn't need this extra weight,
I wish that I could see the way to shore,
I don't want no more,
Goin' down, I'm goin' down.
Now I see the life I lead,
I slept it all away in bed,
I should've learned to swim instead,
And now it's really got me stumped,
I can't believe, oh, why I jumped,
I'd like to get my tummy pumped,
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town,
This dirty brown,
I'm goin' down, goin' down.
I wish I'd looked before I leaped,
I didn't know it was so deep,
Been down so far I don't get wet,
I haven't touched the bottom yet,
This river scene is gettin' old;
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet, and cold,
She told me to forget it nice;
I should have taken her advice,
I only wanna go on home;
I'll gladly leave that girl alone,
What a way to spend the night,
If I don't drown I'll die of fright,
My pappy taught me how to float,
But I can't swim a single note,
He threw me in to teach me how,
And I stayed there,
Floating like a mama cow,
And now I've floated way down stream, I know this has to be a dream,
If I could find my way to shore,
I'd never ever do this anymore,
I'll give you three;
I've been down nine,
I'm goin' down just one more time,
I'm goin' down, goin' down.
Now the sky is gettin' lightm
And everything will be alright,
Think I finally got the knack,
Just floatin' here lazy on my back,
I never really liked that town;
I think I'll ride the river down,
Just movin' slow and floatin' free,
There's a river swingin' under me,
Waving back to the folks on shore,
I should have thought of this before,
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans,
Goin' to pick up,
On some swinging scenes,
I know I'll know a better day;
I'll go down groovin' all the way,
Goin down, goin' down...
