[Verse 1]
How long can you stay uncomfortable? (Ooh, yeah)
And how long can you stand out in the cold? (Ooh)
And, baby, when you decide that he just ain't right
I need to know, I need to know-ow-ow

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, your skin like porcelain
Like ocean waves, your mind's amazin'
How can I be your everything
When we still cloudin' up your patience?
You can't keep wastin'
All your days on wonderin'
Why he just don't get it

[Chorus]
I (I) just came (Came) to calm (Oh) your troubled waters
Down (Down) to be (To be) aligned (Aligned)
I swear I got you
You can't keep wastin'
All your days on wonderin'
Why he just don't get it

[Verse 2]
You're there but you don't wanna be, uh-uh
You stay 'til it's too hard to breathe
And I don't think it's worth your time
So why you not mine?
I need to know, I need to know

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, your skin like porcelain
Like ocean waves, your mind's amazin'
How can I be your everything
When we still cloudin' up your patience?
You can't (You can't keep) keep wastin'
All your days on wonderin'
Why he just don't get it

[Chorus]
I (I) just came (Came) to calm (Oh) your troubled waters
Down (Down) to be (To be) aligned (Aligned)
I swear I got you
You can't keep wastin'
All your days on wonderin'
Why he just don't get it

[Bridge]
(Baby) I'll be your lifeguard
Through everything (Everything)
If you stay with me (Ha)
Oh-oh, oh
I'll be your lifeguard
Through everything (Everything)
Will you stay with me?
Oh-woah

[Chorus]
I (I) just came (Came) to calm (Calm) your troubled waters
Down (Down) to be (To be) aligned (Yeah)
I swear I got you
('Cause you can't keep plottin')
You can't keep wastin' (Wastin' all your time)
All your days on wonderin'
Why he just don't get it
