Man Overboard – Lyrics

Man overboard, sinking in a sea of love
Man overboard, he jumped, didn’t need a shove
Oh, I’ve been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance
With what I know, he never stood a chance
He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love

Said, Lower the boats, he’s sinking in a sea of love
Lower the boats, he’s sinking in a sea of love
Yeah, I’ve been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance
With what I know, he never stood a chance

No, man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Throw him a line
Man overboard

He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love
