Oh, baby, don't fret tonight
We'll do what you want to. Just keep it light
Please, don't trouble the water
Been a long, uneasy day

So, maybe the storm's ahead
Don't let it haunt you. Put it to bed
Please, don't trouble the water
You and me—we'll float away

We'll sail where the night is still
Smooth as a mirror, trusting the sea
Now don't
Don't trouble
Don't
Don't trouble the water
Don't trouble the water

We'll make a sweet memory
Just like we used to, just you and me
Now don't
Don't trouble
Don't
Don't trouble the water
Play it cool, baby. Don't you trouble it

Hey, baby, when life's a trial
Here's a lagoon to hide in a while
So, don't trouble the water
All we need is time tonight

Now don't
Don't trouble
Don't
Don't trouble the water
Don't trouble the water

We'll make a sweet memory
Just like we used to, just you and me
Now don't
Don't trouble
Don't
Don't trouble the water
Play it cool, baby. Don't you trouble it

Oh, it's funny. Been lost before
Trust to the moon to steer you ashore
No. Don't trouble the water
We can see that harbor light

Don't trouble the water
Been a long, uneasy day
Don't trouble the water
All we need is time tonight
