Rivers and words go round and round Try their best to make you drown Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go around They go round and around Some of them love you As much as they need you Some of them just want to Be with you on top God forbid you stumble Drop the ball or fumble Then you see who's with you And who's really not Spreads like wild fire Liars and admirers Singing like a choir Quiet when they're caught Loving me right to my face Stab me when I leave the place They don't know I know Who's with me and who's not Rivers and words go round and round Try their best to make you drown Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go around Rivers and words go round and round Try their best to break you down Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go around They go round and around They just want to see you fail Or ride the wave on your red coattail Everything's a smooth sail Til you hit the rocks Hard times show the hard truth Who loves you and who used you And who's really with you And who's really not Rivers and words go round and round Try their best to make you drown Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go around Rivers and words go round and round Try their best to break you down Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go around They go round and around Rivers and words go round and round Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go round and round Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go round and round But I wont let them bring me down Rivers and words go round and round Try their best to break you down Flowing soft or crashing loud Rivers and words go around Rivers and words go around
