The Supremes — Going Down for the Third Time

[Intro] (Save me! Save me, save me!) (Save me! Save me, save me!) [Chorus] I'm goin' down, down for the third time I'm goin' down, down for the third time Drownin' in a-tears from a heart that's hurtin' Drownin' in tears from a love that's uncertain [Verse 1] I'm lost in a world without your love A sea of emptiness The love we knew is being washed away Don't think I can last, my heart is sinkin' fast [Chorus] I'm goin' down, down for the third time Tryin' to hold on to a love that's dyin' Drownin' in the love that keeps me grievin' Drownin' in the fear that my arms you're leavin' [Verse 2] Bring back that love we knew Darlin', let me live again A little tenderness to me start showin' Fill my heart with love 'til it's overflowin' [Chorus] I'm goin' down, down for the third time Tryin' to hold on to a love that's dyin' I'm goin' down, down for the third time So won't you save this heart of mine? [Chorus] (Goin' down, down for the third time) (Goin' down, down for the third time) I'm like a ship all alone on a ragin' sea You got me tossin' and a-turnin', and I can't get free [Verse 3] Reach out your hand for me Darlin', save what's left of our love I'll forgive your lies and alibis If you'll wipe my cryin' eyes [Chorus] I'm goin' down, down for the third time So won't you save this heart of mine? I've loved you long, I've loved you strong Now little boy, you know you're doin' me wrong [Outro] Come on and save me (Goin' down, down for the third time) Come on and save me (Goin' down, down for the third time) Come on and save me (Save me!) I'm goin' down, down for the third time (Save me!)
