Origineel
[Verse 1]
You ain’t nothing but trouble, far as I can tell
Just a wasted wish in the wishing well
But you don’t know, I’ve been here before
I’m just one too many miles from shore
[Chorus]
And I’m taking on water and I’m going down
Taking on water, that’s what I’m doing now
Taking on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground
[Verse 2]
Oh, I’m already in, in too deep
I know you won’t be there to rescue me
I’m already feel it, right through my chest
I’m afraid if I taste it, I might not catch my breath
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Why is a woman always thinking
Just because a man is sinking
He’s gonna drown
[Chorus][3x]
[Outro]
Takin’ on water, going down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doing now
Takin’ on water with only one way out
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Je bent niets dan problemen, voor zover ik kan zien
Just a wasted wish in the wishing well
Maar je weet het niet, ik ben hier eerder geweest
I’m just one too many miles from shore
[refrein]
And I’m taking on water and I’m going down
Het water opnemend, dat is wat ik nu doe
Taking on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground
[Verse 2]
Oh, I’m already in, in too deep
I know you won’t be there to rescue me
I’m already feel it, right through my chest
I’m afraid if I taste it, I might not catch my breath
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Waarom denkt een vrouw altijd
Alleen omdat een man zinkt
dat hij zal verdrinken
[refrein] [3x]
[Outro]
Takin’ on water, going down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doing now
Takin’ on water with only one way out
