Something in the Water Lyrics

[Intro]
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 1]
I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing, how they sing

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Give me nights of solitude, red wine, just a glass or two
Reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening
I'll pretend that it's no thing that skip in my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me, babe, I'm crazy over you

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
There's something in the water, something in the water
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
There's something in the water that makes me love you like


[Verse 2]
I've got halos made of summer, ribbons made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I've got crowns of words a–woven, each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Give me long days in the sun, preludes to the nights to come
Previews of the mornings, laying in all lazy
Give me something fun to do, like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now, baby, I'm still crazy over you

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
There's something in the water, something in the water
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
There's something in the water that makes me love you like I do

[Bridge]
Ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh
Ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh
Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two
Give me something fun to do

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
There's something in the water, something in the water
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
There's something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
There's something in the water, something in the water
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, there's something in the water
That makes me love you like I do
[Outro]
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
