If you're not the one for me Then how come I can bring you to your knees? If you're not the one for me Why do I hate the idea of being free? And if I'm not the one for you You've gotta stop holding me the way you do Oh, honey, if I'm not the one for you Why have we been through what we have been through? It's so cold out here in your wilderness I want you to be my keeper But not if you are so reckless If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge Woah-woah Say that our love ain't water under the bridge What are you waiting for? You never seem to make it through the door And who are you hiding from? It ain't no life to live like you're on the run Have I ever asked for much? The only thing that I want is your love If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge Woah-woah Say that our love ain't water under the bridge It's so cold in your wilderness I want you to be my keeper But not if you are so reckless If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge (Say it ain't so, say it ain't so) (Say it ain't so, say it ain't so) Say that our love ain't water under the bridge (Say it ain't so, say it ain't so) (Say it ain't so, say it ain't so) Say that our love ain't water under the bridge Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
