Well I've been up to my neck in trouble

Up to my neck in strife

Up to my neck in misery

For most of my life 

I've been a fool

And you know what a fool can do 

I'm telling you

You came along when I needed you

Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you



And I've been up to my neck in pleasure

Up to my neck in pain

I've been up to my neck on the railroad track

Waitin' for the train 

To cruise on through

Well baby my time is due

Oh it's way overdue

You came along and you pulled me through

Now I'm up, up to my neck in you



Well I've been up to my neck in whiskey

I've been up to my neck in wine

I've been up to my neck in wishing 

That this neck wasn't mine 

I was a loser

You weren't lost

Baby you were too good, too good to be true

What you've got no one else could do

Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you



Yeah you came along when I needed you

Oh I'm up to my neck in you
