The Manhattan Transfer - S.O.S. Lyrics

(Gerry Shury and Phillip Swern)

I'm going under
I'm slipping fast
Just like a drowning woman I keep turning over my past
I need a touch of some tender sweet love
The kind to pull me through
I'm like a ship that's lost on the ocean, a callin' out to you -

I'm sending out an SOS
Somebody save me
Throw me a love line (Save me, save me)
Sending out an SOS
Somebody save me
Somebody rescue me (Rescue me)

My ship was sinking, my hope has gone
This is my third time down and I don't have the strength to go on
I need affection, a new direction
To guide me to the shore
The kind of love that just can't be broken
The way it was before

I'm sending out an SOS
Somebody save me
Throw me a love line (Save me, save me)
Sending out an SOS
Somebody save me
Somebody rescue me (Rescue me)

Whoa yes -
I need affection, a new direction
To guide me to the shore
The kind of love that just can't be broken
The way it was before

I'm sending out an SOS
Somebody save me
Throw me a love line (Save me, save me)
SOS (Save me darlin')
Somebody save me
Somebody rescue me (Rescue me)
Oh yes -
Oh my goodness
SOS
[Repeat to fade]
