Love is a boat and it's hard to keep that boat afloat When waves come crashing in from every direction There's a storm passing through and it's headed straight for me and you There's bound to be some heavy raining for the sun comes shining through So when the dark clouds are all around And the ship starts a-rockin' like it's goin' down We can't be afraid of goin' overboard Overboard with your love and affection Takes a little more giving and a lot less taking You can go under or we can go overboard Now when troubles hit You know a lot of lovers they just quit They don't see the blue out on the horizon They give up, hit the door When they ought to give a little bit more 'Cause the secret to surviving is to both go overboard So when the dark clouds are all around And your ship starts a-rockin' like it's goin' down You can't be afraid of goin' overboard Overboard with your love and affection Takes a little more giving and a lot less taking You can go under or you can go overboard When the dark clouds are all around And your ship starts a-rockin' like it's goin' down You can't be afraid of going overboard Overboard with your love and affection Takes a little more giving and a lot less taking You can go under or you can go over You can go under or you can go over You can go under or you can go overboard
