Overboard Lyrics by Anne Murray

Yes I Do

1991

Love is a boat and it's hard to keep that boat afloat
\nWhen waves come crashing in from every direction
\nThere's a storm passing through and it's headed straight for me and you
\nThere's bound to be some heavy raining for the sun comes shining through
\nSo when the dark clouds are all around
\nAnd the ship starts a-rockin' like it's goin' down
\nWe can't be afraid of goin' overboard
\nOverboard with your love and affection
\nTakes a little more giving and a lot less taking
\nYou can go under or we can go overboard
\nNow when troubles hit
\nYou know a lot of lovers they just quit
\nThey don't see the blue out on the horizon
\nThey give up, hit the door
\nWhen they ought to give a little bit more
\nThe secret to surviving is to both go overboard
\nSo when the dark clouds are all around
\nAnd your ship starts a-rockin' like it's goin' down
\nYou can't be afraid of goin' overboard
\nOverboard with your love and affection
\nTakes a little more giving and a lot less taking
\nYou can go under or you can go overboard
\nWhen the dark clouds are all around
\nAnd your ship starts rocking like it's going down
\nYou can't be afraid of going overboard
\nOverboard with your love and affection
\nTakes a little more giving and a lot less taking
\nYou can go under or you can go over
\nYou can go under or you can go over
\nYou can go under or you can go overboard\n\n
