Swim the River

I'm not good at saving
But I'm good at holding on
Like the way the sparkle
Never leaves her eye
I'm not good at leaving
But I'm good at getting gone
And I'm giving all I have
To get me by

Lady
Take me by the hand
You know I'm doing what I gotta do
To make you understand
Lady
I'll give it all I can
Yes, I'd swim the river up and back
If it'll make me your man
Oh, I'd swim the river up and back
If it'll make me your man

I'm not good at talking
But I'm good at speaking up
Telling Mom and Pa just how it is
I'm no good at joking
But I'm good at cracking up
So kick your shoes up on the bank
And jump right in

Lady
Take me by the hand
You know I'm doing what I gotta do
To make you understand
Lady
I'll give it all I can
I swear I'd swim the river up and back
If it'll make me your man
Oh I'd swim the river up and back
If it'll make me your man

I'm not good at aiming
But I'm taking every shot
Pointing my red arrow at your heart
I'm no good at swimming
But I'll give it all I got
Till I finally float away
Inside your arms

Lady
Take me by the hand
You know I'm doing
What I gotta do
To make you understand
Lady
I'll give it all I can
I swear I'd swim the river up and back
If it would make me your man
Oh I'd swim the river up and back
If it would make me your man

Oh I'd swim the river up and back
If it would make me your man
