[Lyric] Sink or Swim (Merry Clayton)

I can feel how the times are changin'
I can feel things re-arrangin'
Used to be that I needed protecting
Now you see what I need is respecting

Sink or swim ??
Out on the rim, no place to be sittin'
?? much more than an ocean
Yeah the chance is slim, but my life is in motion
I just love your smile
Won't you stay awhile?

I can see how the train's a-movin'
I can feel my ?? groovin'
Bouncing ball connotes my conditions
Take a fall, improve my condition

Sink or swim ??
Out on the limb ain't no place to be sittin'
??? much more than an ocean
Chance is slim, but my life is in motion
I just love your smile
Won't you stay a little while? A little while, baby
I can see how times are changing
I can feel my whole life rearranging
Used to be that I need protecting
Now you see that what I need is respecting

Sink or swim ??
Out on the limb, no place to be sittin'
?? much more than an ocean
Chance is kind of slim, but my life is in motion

Sink or swim ??
Out on the limb, no place to be sittin'
I just love your smile
Won't you stay just for a little while?
I just love your smile
Hey won't you please stay for a while?
Sink or swim is the message ??
