[Verse 1]

Man all alone, caught in a raging water

A man overboard, caught in a terrible storm

Throw me the rope, pull me out of trouble

I need someone, someone to keep me warm

[Chorus 1]

Why don't you save me?

I'm burning with desire

Why won't you save me?

Don't leave me all alone

And it's all right (You know)

Wrap me up, baby won't you take me home?

[Verse 2]

Forty below, high up a lonely mountain

Slipping down, baby I'm sinking fast

Throw me the rope, pull me out of this trouble

S.O.S., I don't think I'm gonna last

[Chorus 2]

Why don't you save me? (Oh)

I'm burning with desire

Why won't you save me? (Ooh)

Come on and hold me tight

And it's all right (It's all right)

I told you love

We're gonna have a talk tonight (Uh huh, yeah)

Why don't you save me? (Oh)

I'm burning with desire

Why won't you save me? (Ooh)

Come on hold me tight

And it's all right (And it's all right)

Don't you want to?

You're messing with a man tonight

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah, come on

[Chorus 2]

Why don't you save me? (Oh)

I'm burning with desire

Why won't you save me? (Oh no, no, no, no)

Come on and hold me tight

And it's all right (I told you girl)

I told you love

We're gonna have a talk tonight (Uh huh, yeah)

Why don't you save me? (Oh)

I'm burning with desire

Why won't you save me? (In the end)

Come on hold me tight

And it's all right (Be with me again)

Don't you want to?

You're messing with a man tonight
