When I looked and I first saw you
Then I came, the nights I called you
All you did was treat me like a friend
Then I came and saw you
Walking with a guy
And you were talking
All you did was beat me to the end

You're a showboat rolling down a river
Not a slow boat drifting to the sea
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Trying to get up over me
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Not a slow boat drifting to the sea
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Trying to get up over me

All the time that I was praying
You were singing, laughing, playing
All you did was treat me like a friend
Then I came and saw you
Walking with a guy
And you were talking
All you did was beat me to the end

You're a showboat rolling down a river
Not a slow boat drifting to the sea
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Trying to get up over me
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Not a slow boat drifting to the sea
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Trying to get up over me

(instrumental)

You're a showboat rolling down a river
Not a slow boat drifting to the sea
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Trying to get up over me
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Not a slow boat drifting to the sea
You're a showboat rolling down a river
Trying to get up over me
